CN Rejects UP-NS Merger Application Over Competition Concerns

Canadian National Railway Company $(CN)$ has issued a statement regarding the merger application filed by Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern. CN argues that the proposed merger does not enhance competition or generate significant public benefits, falling short of the standards set by the Surface Transportation Board (STB). The company warns that the merger would reduce rail transportation options and create a single entity controlling over 40% of the U.S. freight rail market, potentially leading to higher prices and fewer choices for consumers. CN plans to actively participate in the STB review process and urges all stakeholders to get involved to ensure competition is protected.
