Is Berkshire’s Burlington Move All About Coal?

Regardless of whether it's hauling coal for the short-term or hauling increasing amounts of freight over the long-term, BNSF should be very good for Berkshire. The development of North American rail was stunted by the development of the highway system. In a world where minimizing waste is important, rail will become critical. Several years ago I was delighted when my son-in-law quit his job at the airline and went to work for the railroad. This is just one more case where all things old are new again.
