UP and NS claim their proposed mega-merger will reduce transit time, but freight rail customers are well aware that past railroad mergers have rarely lived up to their service-related promises.
Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern say their combined network could speed up various types of shipments. But some shippers are skeptical, citing prior mergers that failed to deliver on promised service improvements.

Currently, 4 Class-1 railroads control 90% of U.S. freight traffic. As it stands, railroads are rarely held accountable for poor service, ongoing disruptions, and high rates. Further consolidation is not the answer.

45 years after the Staggers Act, consolidation has left the U.S. freight rail network severely concentrated. 🚂 One merger could give a SINGLE railroad control of almost half the national system. ✅🏁 The STB must do its job to protect competition and keep goods moving.

The proposed UP-NS mega-merger is filled with empty promises of increased efficiency and greater competition, but this won’t be the case. The last time UP was involved in a huge merger, it lost 12% of its traffic over 20 years. https://t.co/ZLpJoZOlKi
