No I haven't any inside information such is even being considered, but in view of Canadian National's extensive and growing US operations, that its stock is traded on the NYSE, and that it is no longer a ward of the Canadian government, isn't it time to consider a name change to reflect that CN is an investor owned North American railroad system?
Lest we forget, the Kansas City Southern still has an open "dance card" at the "merger ball" and holds a controlling interest in the KCSM, or the lines in Mexico that roundly comprise the former government owned NdeM. If there is ever to be a CN-KCS combination, there would be a true North American railroad.
It will be interesting to hear concurring or contrary thoughts; the next question of course are 'any suggestions" for a new name?
