I've said it before and I will say it again, this was nothing more than a move by EHH to prop CP stock up. This is nothing more than the railroad of the week he wants to sink his teeth into. CSX last year, NS this year, back to CSX or someone else next. He may be a baby and an a hole but he isn't stupid. The merger never stood a chance, especially with regulators.
Zeke, besides your obvious distaste for NS management, what major NS shipper supports a hypothetical merger? So far all the letters and intents to partcipate with the STB have been anti merger. Surely you aren't at such a high level of moon hoax theory that you think NS is pressuring each and every shipper?
