Healthy growth needs the right conditions. In freight rail, that means competition. The UP–NS merger weakens it—and that’s bad for the businesses that rely on it.

Imagine dandelions on rails—invasive, relentless, and suffocating everything in their path. The UP–NS merger is doing the same to American freight: choking competition and leaving shipments stuck in the weeds. Speak up before supply chains get overrun.

April showers help gardens grow. Monopoly rail mergers? They leave supply chains drenched in delays, higher costs, and frustrated shippers. Don’t let the UP–NS deal drown rail competition.
