Rail Corporation Statements on the Proposed UP-NS Merger

While we take these statements with a grain of salt, knowing that these corporations stand in some degree of competition with a combined UP-NS system, we print them here for the record, as simply additional forces that are opposed to the UP-NS merger. Note: After publicly opposing the UP-NS merger, it will be more difficult for them in the future to propose their own merger, assuming this UP-NS proposal is in fact defeated.

CPKC Statement:

The UP-NS Merger Is Not in the Public Interest

CN Statement:

Advocating for Increased Competition

BNSF Statement:

Costly, Unnecessary, Anti-Competitive and Bad for the U.S. Economy
