MONTREAL, Dec. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The application filed this morning by Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern fails to demonstrate that the merger would enhance competition or generate significant public benefits that would require a merger.

Without real railroad competition, prices go up and consumers lose. CN will be actively participating in the STB process and encourages all stakeholders to participate to ensure all voices are heard and that competition...
