联合太平洋公司提交850亿美元合并申请，欲收购诺福克南方公司
Read, Watch or Listen
Omaha, Neb. — Union Pacific filed an amended application Thursday seeking approval to acquire Norfolk Southern for $85 billion, arguing the combined railroad would create a one-carrier coast-to-coast system and reduce delivery time by eliminating interline handoffs. The Surface Transportation Board previously rejected the initial filing in January as incomplete. This week the railroads and supporters, including Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen and regional business leaders, reiterated claims the merger could shift 2.1 million truckloads to rail and save shippers billions; the STB has 30 days to decide whether to accept the amended filing before starting a detailed review likely to last more than a year.

如果监管机构批准合并，联合太平洋公司、其股东、内布拉斯加州的商业利益以及一些长途托运人将从所谓的运营效率、预期的成本节约以及更大的合并企业中获益。
竞争性货运铁路公司、部分客户和地区托运人可能在整合期间或之后面临竞争减少、潜在的服务中断以及路线选择受限。
