Transportation
- Burlington Northern Railroad + Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway = Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (now BNSF Railway)
- When the Rio Grande Industries (the parent company of the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad) acquired the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1988 as a result of the ill-faded SPSF merger, one noticeable change was that all Southern Pacific locomotives built between then and when the Union Pacific Railroad acquired them in 1995, used the Rio Grande's "speed lettering" font instead of typeface font for the railroad logo.
- In the 1980s, the Southern Pacific Railroad contemplated merging with the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway. The holding companies merged, and were so confident enough that the ICC would approve it, that they began repainting locomotives into a new unified "Southern Pacific Santa Fe" paint scheme, better known as the "Kodachrome" paint scheme since it resembled the colors of the packaging for Kodak camera film. The merger was turned down by the ICC, TWICE, in 1986 and the appeal in 1987. The ICC stated that on the grounds that such a merger included 'too many duplicate routes and was therefore monopolistic over West Coast freight rail service'. Railfans joked that SPSF stood for "Shouldn't Paint So Fast". Instead, the Southern Pacific was ultimately absorbed by the Union Pacific Railroad in 1996 while the Santa Fe was merged with the Burlington Northern to create the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway, or BNSF.
