Subject: BNSF hires GS
BNSF Railway has hired Goldman Sachs (GS.N), and CSX Corp (CSX.O), is in talks to bring on financial advisers, as rival Union Pacific’s interest in acquiring Norfolk Southern sparked a wave of deal preparations that could reshape the U.S. freight rail industry, sources said.

The moves by BNSF, owned by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway (BRKa.N), and Jacksonville-based CSX come after Union Pacific (UNP.N), began exploring a potential acquisition of Norfolk Southern (NSC.N), which could create a $200 billion coast-to-coast rail network and mark the most significant consolidation in the sector in decades.

How did Buffett allow hiring of investment bankers for merger advise? I thought he loathed them.
