Operating under the name Burlington Northern from 1970 through 1996, consisted of merging four prominent railroads after over 60 years of failed attempts to combine these companies that was continuously blocked by the Supreme Court; eventually they were finally able to form the Burlington Northern Railroad. During its years of operation, Burlinngton Northern acquired many other railroads and by the end of its reign in 1996, managed over 27,000 miles of track from Chicago Westward, including passengers, freight services and cleaner fuel options, connecting the country through their vast network of railways serving their customers as they innovated logistic operations along the way before becoming BNSF as it is known today.
