This company acquired the Burlington and Missouri River Railroad Company (1873), the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad Company (1882), and the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railway Company (1901). In 1961 it was proposed that the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad Company, the Great Northern Railway Company, the Pacific Coast Railroad Company, and the Northern Pacific Railway Company merge to form the Great Northern Pacific & Burlington Lines, inc. In 1968 the name of the proposed merged company was changed to Burlington Northern Inc., and in 1970 the merger was approved under this name.]
