UP - NS Merger

Point well taken. However, from what I was told, there has been a noticeable increase in NS power over the last several weeks on the UP West Line here, as compared to the last 2-3 years (I have seen quite a bit of NS and CSX power on the UP ever since Conrail was carved up a few years ago, and before that point, Conrail power was very common west of Proviso - particularly on the Elkhart IN to North Platte run-through Conrail and the UP ran (and CNW up until 1995). Again, I agree that an increase does not by any means guarantee that UP and NS are even discussing a potential merger, but it would be interesting to learn the real reason behind the sudden increase in NS power on UP trains (perhaps railroads pay back horsepower hours in batches)??? Any ideas?
