The companies identified as affiliates of BNSF include Berkshire and its subsidiaries. In the second quarter of 2010, the Company declared and paid a dividend of $250 million to its parent company. For the period February 13 – June 30, 2010, the Company made cash payments of $335 million for income taxes to Berkshire.

 

If this rate holds up on a per quarter basis, it is a huge upturn from the ~550 million/year dividend paid earlier.
