That's another consolidation in North American railroading. https://www.nbcnews.com/business/bu...k-85-billion-mega-us-railroad-deal-rcna221701
Already crazy enough with CPKC going from Canada down to Mexico, and now an actual transcontinental railroad going east to west is already insane enough as is. But of course, we'll see what STB's verdict is gonna be if it succeeds or not, and that's gonna be a while untill then.
I'm not expecting many regulatory challenges under the current administration. The article mentions a BNSF-CSX merger might follow quickly after.
