QUOTE: Originally posted by grande man Has anyone heard a rumor about a NS/UP merger? I heard it from a NS employee if that means anything. This may be old news, I'm a casual railfan and mainly model so I could have easily missed it. If true, would the Gov't allow this?
QUOTE: Originally posted by nanaimo73 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. PS-Archie's wife "Dingbat" was a NS employee, too. Maureen Stapleton worked as a N&W clerk before she was an actress.
