Thought that this might be worth a thread as CP (no relation
)is based in Calgary and this will continue to remain as the global headquarters of the corporation. The deal creates the only railway with a track system into Mexico and of course through the US and into Canada.
I wouldn’t say this is a done deal though. Years ago CP tried to buy Norfolk Southern and they weren’t able as US regulations posed issues. They’ve structured this deal a little differently, and maybe that will assuage concerns.
Anyway...hopefully others are interested as well!
(Only article I found at first is behind a paywall, but I’m sure there will be a lot more)
