That's about what I thought too. At least it's better than the UP aquiring the BNSF.

I have to say that you do show some enthusiasm in your posts about Conrail.
Thanks to Chris / CopCarSS for my avatar.

If BNSF mereged with UP that really really suck.

Could this happen that Amtrak merge into the eastern freight railroads?????
Yes we are on time but this is yesterdays train

No. Who in their right minds would want to take over something that does not make money? Amtrak has never made a dime sinse it began. Some freight is now moving over Amtrak routes in the northeast. Now if you mean buying the northeast corridor, and splitting it up between CSX and NS? Maybe, but there will be no Class 1's running passinger trains. They've been there and done that. No money in it.
CSX merge with a New Mexican transit line? ha ha ha that would never happen. The Roadrunner has no track out side of the state that I know of and runs in Alburquerque and goes to another city or more. This would be like CSX taking over Metra in Atlanta total bull butter.

CSX should truely really needs to merge with Roadrunner.com to make any & all connections
I got a good connection with the CSX web site besides the loading but I have AOL so if I had Knology or Comcast fast speed internet which would be much better in visiting sites like the CSX site. So the connection joke is not working. Why did you quote yourself? you know you can Edit your post right? Jeez gotta go in the looney bin soon before school starts. Where's SPBED? I think I found another one that........ well thats another story and another glass of BC Headache stuff.
None of the other railroads can afford to buy the stock of CSXT and NS, because they are extremely profitable.
The merger will only happen if there is an advantage for both parties.
CSXT and NS will lose big in a merger at this time.
A merger is supposed to save a company.
Mergers are not worth pursuing right now.
Reality will not allow a damaging merger again.

These Global mergers means there will be flying trains or submergable trains.
How will the trains get from North America to Europe?
Figure out that technology! It will not be cheap or easy.

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:
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.
BNSF-NS: Same as the UP-CSX merger above. And like CSX and NS, a BNSF-UP system would be disasterous as well.
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.

That way we leave two carriers in the west and two carriers in the east. Sure that's never gonna happen... but it's an idea.
I could not agree more with that statement. Mergers are just stupid to have these days there needs to be compation.
If Pan-American Railways and CSXT merge one of the names will stick.
Pan-American Railways would be an interesting change over the CSX logo.
A look into the future perhaps????????

Locked Forever. How about erased forever. This thread needs a delete and a start over.
Preferrably some logic and hard facts included in the starting posts so that we can make a choice.
This concept was covered in a TRAINS article. Bergie could easily delete this post and post the whole article from TRAINS, so people will have some facts handy to make a choice.
