QUOTE: Originally posted by wabash1

the main reason for bnsf wanting to team up with the ns is they have no trakage rights to the east coast. and hence the money would be greater ( more profit ) if they did.

why would bnsf prefer a matchup with ns? why do rumors abound matching up with csx? all four systems have chicago, st. louis and memphis as common points. bnsf could theoretically reach the east coast with either ns or csx, but bnsf/ns is the most discussed merger. why?
