Coalition members were present at the court on Friday to send a message that the merger is not just a legal technicality – real people, communities, and consequences are tied to the court’s decision.

Freight Train Cars Derail in Suburban Franklin Park, Authorities Say nbcchicago.com/news/local/fre…

After Controversial Freight Rail Merger Approved, Northwest Suburban Communities Weigh Next Steps news.wttw.com/2023/03/23/aft…

I'm deeply disappointed that the Surface Transportation Board sided against my constituents. As I've said, the merger will dramatically increase freight traffic, harming the wellbeing of our region. I will continue to provide close oversight of this merger chicagotribune.com/business/trans…

The East Palestine disaster raised significant questions about rail safety. Allowing this merger is a mistake & remedies imposed to approve it are insufficient. I remain concerned about consolidation leading to more safety risks, higher costs & job cuts. nytimes.com/2023/03/15/bus…

The derailment, according to officials with the Mohave County Sheriff's Office, happened near the town of Topock. fox10phoenix.com/news/train-rep…

Could a train derailment happen here? Suburban officials say longer trains would make it likely fox32chicago.com/news/could-a-t…

Even before the disaster in Ohio, I had been warning about the threats to communities in my district that would come from a potential CP-KCS merger. The Surface Transportation Board must not move forward until a new safety and impact study is completed. washingtonpost.com/transportation…

@SenWarren @CanadianPacific fox32chicago.com/news/could-a-t…

We don't need another rail merger that'll crush competition, reduce safety, increase prices, and destroy jobs. Following the East Palestine disaster, I'm urging the Surface Transportation Board to block the @CanadianPacific-Kansas City Southern merger. reuters.com/world/us/senat…

Railroad merger draws increased scrutiny in wake of Ohio derailment (@washingtonpost) “If what happened in East Palestine happened here in Itasca, the entire community would need to evacuate. It’s terrifying.” ow.ly/ErGx50Ni91G #trains #railfan
