The money is ruthless. The genius of the Union returns the previous truth. The costs associated with lack of returns are huge.
This is something we need to think of as Railroad Giants Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern Work to complete the $ 85 billion combination. The $ 85 billion would comfortably place the merger among the biggest US history, which is a prominent market mark.
The simple, crucial truth is that funding for such a big deal would not be available unless the market considered the future potential of the railway line as huge. Translated, a combination of $ 85 billion in Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern is a message that the combined company is considered capable of becoming much larger than the title number currently linked to the agreement.
Which is merely a comment that the future result of the proposed merger will be much more than the achievement of a coastal railway network, greater long-distance efficiency, reduced “chokepoints” and other spheres related to the merger. The biggest truth inspired in the title of the merger is that the railway companies in their present form do not resemble what they could be. And what they could be much larger than a “rail network to coast” without various “chucks”.
In other way, the description of the media’s proposal media is equivalent to the rail networks combined to extend to the known of the seamless national shipping, all like Union Pacific et al has already reached the border of the sector. This is a limited view and one that once again violates the magnitude of the merger.
So, instead of focusing on the acquaintances, let’s imagine which railway companies could be in the time of driver without a driver, AI meant to modernize the size, range and range of cargo of freight, so as not to mention what it could be enough.
The crucial for the questions that are asked is that only by consulting with failure, success and among the railway companies that discover yet another opaque future. This brings us to an unknown: everyone’s policy.
While President Trump is shining about a modern business future, there is no certainty, as you read this that the Trump White House will even allow the proposed merger to pass. Trump’s administration has a confused story with acquisitions and acquisitions that may last the deal.
What about the unions? Precisely because modernization of any industry will include the automatically automatically done work, Union Power will claim in a way that makes the efforts of railway companies to do, as all other sectors of industry do: they produce more with less people, while they are more than more so.
From there, there is a lot of regulatory burdens on the road to the railway companies. Unlike a progress factor, the Federal Railway Service (FRA) has worked much more as a gatekeeper than an entity that does everything it can to allow innovation. FRA is part of the Ministry of Transport. Will Trump Dot encourage Fra to do what is necessary to make the rail industry big again?
What is important is that it could be great. The previous truth can be found again in the size of the proposed merger between Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern. Markets say that the future of the rail goes beyond the present. Here we hope that markets are allowed to work to prove the wisdom of the market.
