Union Pacific rebutted BNSF and CPKC criticism of its CN agreement, calling claims of reduced shipper options inaccurate.
CN’s new Eagle Pass rights limited to Canada-Mexico traffic; U.S. traffic to or from Canada and Mexico remains competitive with BNSF.
UP framed the deal as strengthening CN’s ability to compete with CPKC’s single-line Canada-Mexico route, increasing shipper choice.
Expanded EJ&E operating rights positioned to route more traffic around Chicago, aiming to cut congestion and improve network reliability.
UP argued the CN agreements are not a substitute for a UP-Norfolk Southern merger, citing roughly 10,000 interline routes for new single-line service.
