According to a Wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._Class_I_railroads), Union Pacific is the largest Class 1 railroad...

BNSF was briefly the largest Class 1 when they were created after the merger of Burlington Northern and Santa Fe, and they held the title for a few years in the late 1990s until Union Pacific purchased Southern Pacific.

Surely the specific info regarding mileage, profits, etc. can be found on each railroad's website...
