I doubt it would lead to a substantial increase in Calgary head count. KCS's US offices will probably be retained, not closed. With operations moving further southward, certain functions might make sense to be US based too. For example, at one point anyways, many functions of CP's grain desk was moved to Minneapolis. Workers are cheaper there.
