Lauren Cooper+FollowAmerica’s First Coast-to-Coast Railroad?!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 #UnionPacific112Share

Michael Smith+Follow$85B Rail Merger: Coast-to-Coast ShakeupUnion Pacific just dropped $85 billion to buy Norfolk Southern, aiming to create the first coast-to-coast railroad in U.S. history!

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 #NorfolkSouthern50Share
