I’d have to look around for where I read this, but an article I read basically said that the STB approval for the voting trust wasn’t expected to be a hurdle for CN. They were saying that if KCS opted for CN it would be an indication that the STB would approve that same structure for CN and that would likely go ahead easily, for now.

The big approval is expected to be much more of a process though. This far, the issue is the voting trust. The approval for an actual merger would take months and that’s why a deal wouldn’t close for another year.
