Welcome to the Trains Trivia of the Week thread.

Every Wednesday we will ask you a question here related to trains, and you will have a week to answer the question. Next Wednesday, we will update the previous week's answer and put in a new question again. You can use this thread to discuss your answers.

If you have a trivia question which you want to be featured in this section, email it through to trainznews@n3vgames.com along with the answer.

So you are a ferroequinologist......right?

So the question was ATSF merging with BN ...

Extract from the link in Euphod's post:

"Chartered in 1859 as the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe. Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp. created on September 22, 1995, when BN bought AT&SF's corporate Parent. Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway merged into Burlington Northern Railroad on December 31, 1996, and BN renamed Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway"

Zec, you could have started WW3 here ! :D !

 
The creation of BNSF started on 22 September 1995. This new holding company formally merged the railways into the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway on 31 December 1996. On 24 January 2005, the railroad's name was officially changed to "BNSF Railway," using the initials of its original name.
