Guess the family couldn't work out the pesky inheritance problems.

My first car was a 1929 Marmon which I and a friend bought for $1.00 when we were 13 years old. Its color was rust and the front driver's seat was a wooden milk box and the insert roof had caved in...but it ran! Had a flat head straight eight with priming cups.

Union Tank Car makes the big black railroad tank cars you see being pulled around the countryside in RR trains. Ethanol, asphalt, chemicals and other products that cannot flow through a pipeline are delivered by tank car. Buffet also owns a nice piece of the BN railroad which delivers the tank cars at nearly triple the rate of five years ago. The cost of one car with internal coils is more than $100,000.

You, too, can hold a holding company. Holding companies are legal under the XIVth Amend and the State of New Jersey. What a country!

America is just awesome. One family, $8.5 billion business. Incredible.
