It need to happen. Fuck the US government for putting an end to it. It would've been glorious. Imagine the purchasing power.

Who doesn't love a horse race? Norfolk Southern is just one of seven Class I railroads vying for strategic position. With Canadian Pacific's bid to merge or partner with CSX Transportation, no one knows which railroad, or which combination of railroads, will come out ahead.

Anyone who wants another round of railroad mergers is a retard. If anything, the ones we've got now should be split back up. They're already so big the left hand doesn't know what the right is doing--there is so much inefficiency in the industry attributable to disorganization.

Mergers are bad for everyone except stockholders, even then that's a cap shoot

I'd be much more interested in north-south merges. Imagine a KCS-CP merge and a CN-Ferromex one.

This. CN should concentrate on getting it's trains moving. There are train yards in western Canada full of dimensional lumber just sitting there for months at a time for want of a crew to get them to market. West Fraser mills (among others) is looking at a major lawsuit against them right now.

Merge Kansas City, CSX, CN, BNSF, UP, and CP into one state controlled entity.

checked.

better would be to create an entity like the alameda corridor authority in socal which owns the infrastructure, but controlled by a board of all the players. do the same at the national level for mainlines with all the Class Is and amtrak on the board.
