Union Pacific just dropped $85 billion to buy Norfolk Southern, aiming to create the first coast-to-coast railroad in U.S. history! This mega-merger could link 100 ports and touch 43 states, but not everyone’s on board—rail workers’ unions are already raising red flags about safety and jobs. Stocks for both companies dipped after the news, and the deal isn’t set to finish until 2027 (pending lots of approvals). Could this change how America moves goods forever? #Transportation #UnionPacific #NorfolkSouthern
