WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) issued the below statement after the Surface Transportation Board (STB) announced its approval of a proposed merger between Canadian Pacific (CP) and Kansas City Southern Railway (KCS).
“Today’s decision will expand market access for North Dakota producers, unlock opportunities for commerce in Mexico, and make existing routes across North America more efficient. I appreciate the STB’s thorough process and final approval.”
In June 2021, the North Dakota delegation wrote STB in support of the rail companies’ merger, citing its potential to promote competition in the industry.
