CP-KCS Want Merger Without Conditions

Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern have asked the U.S. Surface Transportation Board to approve their merger without conditions.

The two recently filed a 4,300-document with the STB in which they sought to rebut requests for conditions being made by other railroads and interested parties.

CP-KCS content that their merger is compellingly in the public interest and should be approved without conditions “beyond those embodying the commitments Applicants are making.”

Those commitments, including some made to Amtrak, are detailed in the document.

CP-KCS noted that no shipper  or shipper association has suggested that the merger be denied.
