I don't think that there should be any more supermergers. After all, each and every one of the Class I railroads in the US and Canada interact interchangeably to all of their benefits now, so why would any of them want to ruin a good thing? As for a merger between NS and BNSF, why? BNSF has rail in 28 states and 4 Canadian provinces. NS has rail all along the Atlantic seaboard from New Jersey to Florida and the Midwest from Illinois to the Gulf of Mexico. A merger between CN and CSX? Why? CN has rail all over Canada from east to west, while CSX has rail from Florida and Georgia northwards into Michigan and most of the midwest. Rail traffic between them is very profitable to both railroads. CP/UP? Why? CP has rail and/or trackage rights on UP rail from Chicago to Pittsburgh and points eastward, and UP vice versa. They have rail westward to Vacouver Island and southward from there into Washington and the entire Pacific seaboard. I've also seen CP running on trackage rights from Washington state to Maine. Finally, I heartily agree with another respondent's comment about the CP/UP merger. The US and Canadian goverments collectively would never allow it. Personally, I hope negotiations never get that far. <br /> Regards, <br /> BoomBoom
