The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

sutton...this is just an opinion, my Norfolk Southern stock that I hold is an inherited thing all the way back through my grandfather, that's 82 plus years.

But anyway Norfolk is dealing with really bad train wreck and CSX just had one too. Precision railroading? I think it went too far. Significant negligence? Yes, yes, and more yes.

As far as operating ratios I know many here were really disappointed that Greg hasn't addressed that. Let's just say I'm not one of those complaining or concerned.

I think over time these cut employees, cut cap ex, cut lines, cut everything you can and borrow to buyback stock at any price- the higher the more? I think Burlington has a superior model of operations by a long shot.

And over time I think it will show up in the success of Berkshire.
