   Owners do not get involved in day-to-day operational details; they hire   
   managers to deal with that stuff.   
      
   Also, BNSF was shipping hazmat through Chicago long before Buffet bought   
   them, and I'm sure will continue to do so long after.

   Have you looked at a map?  Any competent manager is going to use the   
   shortest path between the oil fields in the northern plains states and   
   the refineries in Indiana, which happens to go through Chicago.  It   
   would cost a lot more to go around it, and absent any regulations that   
   require that, why would they?
