Warren Buffett and i have alot in common. We both share a big interest in trains and when I get an itch for a new one I run down to my local hobby store and pick up a new Kato cab or some rolling stock but when Warren gets that same itch, he calls up BNSF CEO and asks where to mail the check because he's buying the whole company, all
$34 Billion worth.

That would be BNSFBH...for Burington Northern-Santa Fe-Berkshire Hathaway. Berkshire Hathaway being Warren Buffet's holding company through which he has bought BNSF...and which also owns Forest River and Coachmen RV.
