The Surface Transportation Board approval of the Canadian Pacific Railway and Kansas City Southern Railway merger takes effect April 14. As part of the STB decision, the new entity must keep access to other Class I railroads available and submit information to the government to address potential service issues. This will be the first rail service extending from Canada to Mexico. It will impact the flow of grain to the Gulf Coast and Mexico.
