Monday evening of this week, I was waiting for Antiques Road Show to begin. In the minutes beforehand, there was a brief news headlines segment, wherein the broadcast person announced that CP was interested in acquiring Norfolk Southern. I have not seen nor heard mention of this since then. I am wondering if it is real, or did those PBS folks get sucked into the railfan rumor mill?
Per the article from progressive railroading. No comments from either railroad. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free
Fred Frailey posted a discussion of the potential CP/NS merger on his blog hosted by Trains magazine. I believe you must be a subscriber to Trains for access, but I'm posting the link in case Fred's blog open to public access.
Hank- I was able, as a non-subscriber, to read that article. I am wondering exactly why CP is really interested. There must be some easy money pickings hidden in there someplace. "End to end" or not, these things usually end up with something being stripped, track miles and jobs going away.
With the latest announcement from CP got me thinking. What would the logos and colors be of the new railroad? Would it be CP red with the NS thoroughbred? Or would they go the UP route and just be same d CP? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free
If their past is any indicator, they'll CP-ize everything. Heard a brief discussion of this potential event, on today's noon radio news.
Well one thing with this is that NS currently has their own rule book. CP uses GCOR, this will make GCOR finally go east of the Mississippi. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free
