[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by nanaimo73</i> <br /><br />UP interchanges a lot more cars with CSX and I've always heard everyone say they would get together. UP has been bogged down lately and that's probably hurt their share prices, affecting merger conditions. I don't think UP or NS would let the other run "their" railroad. <br /> <br />PS-Archie's wife "Dingbat" was a NS employee, too. Maureen Stapleton worked as a N&W clerk before she was an actress. <br />[/quote]Not to make to light of a point of the matter; 1) CSX would be a bunch cheaper to buy outright than to try a NS in a merger. 2) Who would control and run the place would not be to hard to figure out and 3) The name part would'nt to hard either, The new railroad name would proably use one letter from the CSX name.----------In short NS not likely, but CSX that's different. With all this said I quote Bob Wilcox, "it is just speculation at this point."
