CN (CNI) responded to the application filed by Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern on Dec. 19, 2025, saying the filing "fails to demonstrate" that the proposed merger would enhance competition or provide significant public benefits.
CN said the application "falls well below" both the 2001 and the old Surface Transportation Board (STB) merger rules and warned the combination would reduce rail transportation options while creating a single entity that would control more than 40% of the US freight rail market. CN said it will be actively participating in the STB process and encouraged stakeholder participation to help preserve competition.
