Webinar: The UP-NS Rail Merger: How It Works and Its Impact on Chemical Distribution

In July 2025, it was announced that Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern reached an agreement to merge, intending to create a transcontinental rail line that would cover 45% of total U.S. tonnage. This in-depth webinar will explain the next steps the merger must go through at the Surface Transportation Board to be approved, testing the Board’s new rail merger regulations for the first time. The webinar will also provide key insights into the merger's implications for supply chains, transportation efficiency, and future challenges for chemical distributors.
