Railroad Mergers and You

CSX was formed Nov 1, 1980…

I belive the BNSF merger made train watching in the twin cities more interesting. Pre BNSF it was alot of stackers and merchandise trains. Not there are tons of Hotshot Z trains, about twice as much coal with DPU. And the most amazing locomotives all of wich i belive comes from the finincal backing brought on by the competive nature of Santa Fe management.
