Bruce,
You're right on the money...
I would add that the essential purpose of a corporation is to make money for its owners/investors/shareholders. Railroads exist, first and foremost, to generate income by moving "stuff". The what, how, why, and for-who is secondary. To connect with your point about Warren Buffett, Mr. Buffett is the owner of Berkshire Hathaway, a holding company for his assets. BNSF exists to make money for shareholders such as BH. BH exists to make money for its owner, Warren Buffett.
This, for better or worse, is the heart of our economic (some would even say social) system. It sure can be a raw deal sometimes, but beyond that? I don't know.
