small railroads
Warren Buffett’s company has sold two short-line railroads it recently discovered it owned to satisfy regulators who might have had to review Berkshire Hathaway’s 2010 acquisition of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad if the pair had not been jettisoned. As it was, before Berkshire acquired BNSF, Buffett sold the company’s 9.6 million shares of Union Pacific Corp. and 1.9 million shares of Norfolk Southern Corp. to avoid problems with regulators.
