Status of the Railroad - A Message from Kenny Rocker, EVP, Marketing & Sales
To Our Customers, Before I move into my regular monthly update, I need to take a minute and address the inaccurate claims last week by Canadian National Railway (CN) regarding the Union Pacific-Norfolk Southern merger. The traffic study included in our filings with the Surface Transportation Board was conducted by the same expert CN used for its Iowa Northern merger and applies the same methodology. It provides a reliable estimate of the traffic the combined Union Pacific-Norfolk Southern expect to attract by offering a more competitive, more efficient single-line service. As I said earlier this year, misinformation like this damages rail’s credibility, shakes confidence in the marketplace and distracts from what matters most: more competition and a better customer experience.
