Fort Worth & Denver

The merger of BN involved the CB&Q, NP, GN, and SP&S and several affiliated roads and businesses. In 1970 the merger incorporated the four major Northern Lines and subsidiary lines of CB&Q: Colorado and Southern (C&S), and its line Fort Worth and Denver (FW&D); GN and NP company Midland Railway Company of Manitoba Canada renamed Burlington Northern Manitoba Limited (BNML); NP line Walla Walla Valley Railway Company (WWV) of Walla Walla Washington. These railroads remained wholly owned subsidiaries and maintained motive power with separate numbering and company initials to identify ownership.

In 1981 the BN reorganized to a holding company and fully incorporate most of these lines. The only remaining subsidiary is BNML.
