If the White House needed a Grand Ballroom, wouldn’t they have built one a long time ago?
Comparison of the two potential Transcontinental Railroad mergers. Not too much overlap, but still could be reducing competition, probably why shippers are opposed. All have implemented PSR practices that Wall Street loved. Approval will depend on what rules the Surface Transportation Board follows pre or post 2001. The latter was developed for the potential of a transcontinental merger as the writing on the wall was possible as at the time, BN and the Santa Fe had just merged, Union Pacific has acquired Southern Pacific, Eio Grande, and the Chicago and Northwestern, and Conrail had just split and acquired by Norfolk Southern and CSX.
Last years acquisition of Kansas City Southern by Canadian Pacific was covered under earlier merger rules. It created a first of a different kind. First Railroad to have operations in Canada, United States, andMexico.

If the UP/NS merger happens, more track for UP’s steam locomotives to run, although the Big Boy wasn’t really designed for operations outside of the Rockies and Wasatch Front.
Redistricting wars, seems to be a Paige out of the playbook of one of the GOP’s new idols. In the past, Orban wanted to replace the European Parliament elections with appointments, because the EU doesn’t allow single-seat districts in the European Parliament elections. Proportional representation only, and Germany’s mixed system isn’t allowed either.

While CalTrain in the Bay Area has electrified the SF-San Jose Commute service,the Commuter Rail operator in SoCal, Metrolink, continues to resist, and hiding behind the fact that they only own half their network. Although they may have a point, UP still owns the track the CalTrain uses from San Jose to Gilroy and current runs a Diesel shuttle on that portion of. The manufacturer of their Electric Multiple Unit is working on a prototype with the passenger area in the 1st car converted to a battery compartment. Would reduce passenger capacity but would restore one-seat ride, as a run under wire North of San Jose would recharge the battery.
