There's a reason there has never been, nor ever will be, a "first" end to end merger in the US. Think about it. Right now, BNSF and UP can interchange with both NS and CSX. NS goes places CSX doesn't, UP where BNSF doesn't, etc etc and vis versa. If for instance BNSF merged with NS, those current BNSF shippers would lose some of their "impartial" connections to CSX destinations. Thus, BNSF would potentially lose customers, not gain any. <br /> <br />Now, the GWN is a different story, with both CP and CN going coast to coast from their inceptions.
