[CBQ] Burlington / Santa Fe merger

["'Rupert & Maureen' gamlenz@ihug.co.nz [CBQ]" <CBQ@yahoogroups.com>]

The Chicago Tribune published a story about the consolidation of the Burlington and Santa Fe companies into a single entity, partly based on the number of directors who served on both boards and common stock ownership.  The management of both companies strongly denied it although they did admit that it had been under discussion three years earlier.

As we now know, the Tribune’s prophesy eventually came true, proving that patience is a virtue.  Date of the prophesy – June 1883!
