Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern just dropped a bombshell: they’re merging in an $85B deal to create the first coast-to-coast railroad in the US! If it goes through, this mega-railroad would control almost half of US rail container traffic and connect 50,000+ miles of track. The plan? Faster routes, fewer bottlenecks, and a shot at winning back freight from trucks and Canadian railroads. But unions are skeptical, and regulators still have to sign off. Could this change how goods move across America? #Transportation #RailroadMerger #UnionPacific
