The holding company retained all the non-rail interests of both predecessors (mainly real estate and natural resources, but Southern Pacific had also formed the telephone company known as Sprint , which was sold shortly before the merger). It was initially headquartered in Chicago and later in Schaumburg, Illinois , former Southern Pacific executive Robert Krebs succeeding Santa Fe head John J. Schmidt as CEO .

In September 1995 the company merged into Burlington Northern and the Santa Fe railroad became part of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe , with Krebs becoming head of the merged company until his retirement.
