Well, BN was the much bigger and more solvent RR, but it seems as if Santa Fe management took over. I think technically it was a merger although it was BN that acquired the Santa Fe.

I believe BN bought Santa Fe. I visited the BN rail yards in Fort Worth about 10 years back, and I believe that's what they told us.

I believe the above poster is correct in that BN was the dominate partner in the merger.

I could be wrong, but I have always thought it was a merger.
