All i can say is Rubbish. Someone is spending to many hours at the rumor mill. KCS is more sound then it ever was over its entire history. I hear a lot of these rumors to as they interchange with us in Houston's BNSF new south yard, Beaumont and Corpus Chrisiti, TX, AKA TexMex..There are no plans to merge the KCS into the BNSF. They have trackage rights from Robstown, TX on the UP Angelton/Brownsville sub all the way to Beaumont on the UP Lafeyette sub were they get back on there own road at. I can not see us making anything off of a KCS merger as they go to every place we are already, and have been at. Mater of fact they are the number 2 most loved railroad, behind Union Pacific.
