] stake, bringing its total holdings to 64,610,418 shares.Berkshire now owns 18.87 percent of Burlington's outstanding shares, up slightly from the 18.63 percent stake it held before the latest purchase.
In a filing with the SEC a few minutes ago, Berkshire says it made its latest purchase two days ago, on October 28, paying $79.65 a share. That puts the purchase price at just under $66 million.
Burlington hit an intraday low of $77.58 on Tuesday, but closed at $83.45. Today (Thursday) it finished the regular session at $86.59.
That means the stock is up 3.8 percent close-to-close, and up 8.7 percent from Berkshire's purchase price.

But the market value of Berkshire's total stake in Burlington hasn't been doing all that well.
Berkshire disclosed a series of buys last summer and fall in the vicinity of $80 a share.
The stock fell into the high $70s in January, sparking a string of Berkshire buys. It then rallied as high as $114.58 in early June, only to fall back to the high $70s again this week.
Over the past year, Burlington Northern shares have gained just 1.4 percent.
