<P>If we ever see a round of mega mergers (I personally don't believe it'll be happening any time soon) the most likely combo's will be:</P> <P>UP-CSX: Both east-west RRs that would form a good coast to coast operation. It would make no sense for CSX to merge with NS, can you say duplicate lines? It'd be Penn Central all over again.</P> <P>BNSF-NS: Same as the UP-CSX merger above. And like CSX and NS, a BNSF-UP system would be disasterous as well.</P> <P>Anyone remember the Southern Pacific Santa Fe? I'll bet the execs are glad that merger fell through now, again, lots of duplicate lines. Local trafficmay not justify a line staying open, and operating 2 transcons would be fatal as well.</P>
