Nostalgia & History > Owners of GN and NP Stock at Northern Lines MergerDate: 12/05/18 18:54 Owners of GN and NP Stock at Northern Lines Merger Author: Northern At the time of the Northern Lines merger in the 1960s, were both the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific publicly traded companies or were they owned by Hill and Morgan interests? How did the new Burlington Northern handle all of the shares in both GN and NP after the merger was approved?

I believe that the NP was the surviving company after the merger and changed its name to BN. The division of stock into the new company was a complicated formula as the GN was considered the stronger RR but the NP had much greater land assets. I would like to hear if I am correct on these point as I have been looking but cound not find conclusive point on this.
