FORT WORTH --- The Oracle of Omaha is picking up another Cowtown corporate giant.
Warren Buffett's Berkshire-Hathaway is acquiring the rest of Fort Worth-based Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad that it does not already own.
The 44-billion-dollar deal is the largest acquisition ever for Berkshire-Hathaway.
Buffett has long had an affinity for Fort Worth.
He already owns Justin Boots and Acme Brick.
And just last month, Berkshire-Hathaway held corporate meetings in Fort Worth.
