CALGARY, AB – Canadian Pacific Kansas City said that the company is not interested in participating in immediate rail industry consolidation, despite the suggestions by some that it take part. CPKC does not believe that further rail consolidation is necessary for the industry as currently structured. The company remains focused on delivering more of the benefits and unique value-creating opportunities of its three-nation network, which connects shippers in all parts of North America via effective interline service options. CPKC strongly feels… any major rail merger poses unique and unprecedented risks to customers, rail employees and the broader supply chain. Those risks would be exacerbated by the inevitable follow-on consolidation. …The public’s interest is best served by the nation’s railroads focused on delivering reliable, “truck-like” service while investing in their networks to increase U.S. rail network capacity required for sustainable growth, rather than pursuing additional rail consolidation in an industry already greatly consolidated.
