Description

Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern propose a historic merger, aiming to create the first transcontinental railroad. The combined network would span fifty-three thousand miles, offering coast-to-coast service. They claim this will reduce transit times, benefit the economy, and protect union jobs. However, shippers express concerns about fewer choices and potential operational issues. The Surface Transportation Board will review the application, with public comments due in forty-five days.
