Union Pacific Corporation and Norfolk Southern Corporation Appoints Jim Vena as Chief Executive Officer of Combined Company Union Pacific Corporation and Norfolk Southern Corporation announced an agreement to create America’s first transcontinental railroad. These legendary companies will seamlessly connect over 50,000 route miles across 43 states from the East Coast to the West Coast, linking approximately 100 ports and nearly every corner of North America. This combination will transform the U.S. supply chain, unleash the industrial strength of American manufacturing, and create new sources of economic growth and workforce opportunity that preserves union jobs. Jim Vena, Union Pacific CEO, will lead the combined company as Chief Executive Officer and has committed his intent to remain at Union Pacific for at least the next 5 years. Through integration and beyond, talented leaders from both companies will work together to deliver on the combination’s full value creation potential. The experienced Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern management teams will continue to independently run each company until the transaction’s closing. At closing, three Norfolk Southern Directors, including Mark George and Richard Anderson, are expected to join the Union Pacific Board of Directors after completing the corporate governance process.

Union Pacific Nears Norfolk Deal to Create $200 Billion Railroad Union Pacific Corporation (NYSE:UNP), North America’s largest railroad, is in advanced discussions with Norfolk Southern Corporation (NYSE:NSC) about a potential tie-up in what would be the industry’s largest deal ever. Union Pacific has a market value of about $135 billion, more than twice the size of Norfolk Southern’s $64 billion. Combining the two would transform the North American rail market, marrying Union Pacific’s network across the western US with Norfolk’s East Coast routes. It would also require regulatory approval, and heap competitive pressure on rivals including CSX Corp. and Berkshire Hathaway Inc.’s BNSF. Union Pacific shares fell 1.8% at 10:40 a.m. on July 24, 2025 in New York, while Norfolk Southern’s rose 0.9%. A statement confirming the talks was released as Union Pacific’s second-quarter earnings call was underway. “We’ve done a lot of homework to get us to this place,” Union Pacific Chief Executive Officer Jim Vena said on July 24, 2025 on the earnings call. He declined to comment further on the merger, saying “only a fool” would expect that in the middle of discussions. Historically rail mergers have been difficult to consummate given the inhospitable regulatory environment. However one of the Trump administration’s earliest moves was to elevate Patrick Fuchs to chair the Surface Transportation Board. Fuchs, who joined the board in 2019 during President Donald Trump’s first term, is seen as a proponent of industry consolidation. Duyuru • Jul 18
Union Pacific, Norfolk Southern Reportedly Discuss Merger to Create Transcontinental Railroad Union Pacific Corporation (NYSE:UNP) and Norfolk Southern Corporation (NYSE:NSC) are in merger talks to create the largest railroad in North America that would connect the East and West Coasts. The merger discussions began during the first quarter of this year, according to a person familiar with the talks who isn't authorized to discuss them publicly. It would combine the largest and smallest of the country's six major freight railroads. Both railroads declined to comment. Within the industry there is widespread debate over whether such a merger would be approved by the Surface Transportation Board even though those regulators approved the deal that created CPKC railroad two years ago with the Canadian Pacific's $31 billion acquisition of Kansas City Southern railroad. That merger combined the two smallest major railroads in North America and left only six major freight railroads. But it was the first major rail merger approved in more than two decades. The bar for railroad mergers in the U.S. was raised substantially at the start of the century after a disastrous combination of Union Pacific and Southern Pacific in 1996 that snarled rail traffic for an extended period, followed by the 1999 split of Conrail between Norfolk Southern and CSX, which created backups in the East. Union Pacific CEO Jim Vena talked earlier this year about the potential benefits of such a merger because it would streamline deliveries all across the country by eliminating the delays that come along with one railroad handing shipments over to another. Plus it would simplify shipping for the companies that rely on railroads to deliver their raw materials and finished products. But in the past, shippers have raised concerns about the consequences of being left with even fewer options to ship their goods because the major railroads are already so powerful. Some investors have long argued that the industry should eventually consolidate down to two East-West railroads crossing the United States and one railroad in Canada. But regulators have been skeptical and taken a cautious approach. Any proposed deal would face a lengthy STB review. That board is currently evenly split between two Republicans and two Democrats with one seat open. Duyuru • Jul 17
