Tomorrow is the big day! Don't miss your chance to learn how the $85 billion UP–NS merger application was adjusted in the hopes of achieving approval from the STB. Has the case for a seamless coast-to-coast network truly been made? Are lower costs, increased competition, and improved service achievable—or still up for debate?

To unpack it all, RailTrends co-founder Tony Hatch is hosting a panel of industry experts for an exclusive discussion on what’s changed, what’s contested, and what this revised application means for the near and long term.

Joining Tony for the discussion will be:

David Woodruff, Principal, WashingtonGPS / Former AVP and Head of U.S. Public and Government Affairs for CN
Farrukh Bezar, Operating Partner - Transportation and Logistics, Littlejohn & Co.
Roger Nober, Professorial Lecturer in Law and Affiliated Scholar with the Regulatory Studies Center, The George Washington University / Former Chair of the Surface Transportation Board

The event takes place from 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM Eastern tomorrow, Friday, May 15. Discussion topics and key takeaways will include:

Likely path and timing of the STB review
Where the revised case may face the most scrutiny
What this decision could mean for rail competition and consolidation
