The legendary investor told CNBC's Liz Claman last month that Berkshire bought large stakes in two North American railroad companies but declined to give names. In another recent interview with Claman, however, he did discuss his reasons for investing in railroads.
In a separate SEC filing, Berkshire said it increased stakes in two major health care companies, Johnson & Johnson [JNJ

].
According to SEC rules, Berkshire would have had to quickly disclose a 5% stake had Buffett intended to use it to influence Burlington Northern management. The SEC requires companies to publicly disclose a stake of 10% or more.
Berkshire owns more than 10% of the outstanding shares in five other companies: American Express, Moody's, USG, Washington Post and White Mountains Insurance Group. The company's largest position in a publicly traded stock is a $9.7 billion stake in Coca-Cola.
The SEC allows Buffett and others to delay disclosure of purchases in order to prevent investors from piggybacking positions.
