CN also thanked the STB members and staff for a thorough review.

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 it will be actively participating in the STB process and encouraged stakeholder participation to help preserve competition.
