Solid company, even after the 50/1 split I expect the stock to grow as the firm does and has. Keep in mind we may not see $1,000/share but $100 plus per share is likely over time. Good opportunity for investors once the split takes place.

Long-term, this company will win. Even when Buffett and Munger finally step down, Berkshire has the best management team in the business. And BNSF is just another pillar to keep the company strong for the forseeable future.
