The U.S. Surface Transportation Board has outlined the procedural schedule it will follow in considering the proposed merger of Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern.
The STB has proposed a 245-day proceeding with a series of deadlines for public comment and the filing of briefs.
A final decision on the merger would likely be issued in fall 2022 under that schedule.
The Board also has posted for public review the 4,342-page merger application of the two Class 1 railroads which plan to operate as Canadian Pacific Kansas City if the merger is approved.
