MONTREAL, Dec. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The application filed this morning by Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern fails to demonstrate that the merger would enhance competition or generate significant public benefits that would require a merger. It falls well below both the 2001 and old merger rules set out by the Surface Transportation Board (STB).<\/p>\n

Protecting competition is not optional, it is essential to keep costs down and the economy sound.\u00a0The fact is that this merger would reduce rail transportation options for customers while creating a single entity that controls more than 40% of the US freight rail market. Without real railroad competition, prices go up and consumers lose.<\/p>\n

CN will be actively participating in the STB process and encourages all stakeholders to participate to ensure all voices are heard and that competition is enhanced.<\/p>\n
