November 9, 2009 3:54 PM EST

Reports from the Associated Press, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.a) will sell its stakes in Union Pacific (NYSE: UNP) and Norfolk Southern (NYSE: NSC) before it completes its $26.3 billion acquisition of Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp (NYSE: BNI).

Berkshire owns 9,558,000 shares of Union Pacific and 1,933,000 shares of Norfolk Southern.

This was widely expected as the stakes would likely raise anti-trust concerns.
