"Any east-west merger doesn't get anyone very much that they don't already have, and it's conceivable that whoever starts this merger chain will end up with the worst deal." <br /> <br />this is how it seems to an outsider. why merge east into west? the freight hand off from both major western roads to either of the eastern roads seems to work just fine. <br />why would cn take csx into its fold? cn would seem to be just assuming csx's existing competition with ns. why bother paying a takeover premium to step into someone elses fight? cn already has gulf of mexico access, the great lakes and atlantic ocean deep water. the only class 1 small enough to be picked up would seem to be kcs with her mexican connection she offers something new in regard to territory, sea ports and nafta, but who ever buys kcs will wait for the legal hassel to settle and that will pu***he price to a premium. <br />cbt141 <br />
