john05+FollowUnion Pacific’s $85B Train DramaUnion Pacific just dropped some lackluster quarterly results, and their $85 billion coast-to-coast merger with Norfolk Southern is hitting some speed bumps. Regulators want more info (which the CEO says is “routine”), but unions are not happy, warning about job cuts and higher costs. Despite the drama, Union Pacific still expects the deal to close by 2027. Wall Street’s not convinced this train is on the right track just yet! #Transportation #UnionPacific #Railroad00Share
Peter Castillo+FollowRailroad Emergency Drivers Want Rule ChangeImagine being called out at 2AM to clear a derailed train, but federal rules say you can’t drive because you’ve hit your hour limit. That’s what Hulcher Services’ drivers face, and now they’re asking for an exemption from FMCSA’s Hours-of-Service rules. They say it’s about getting railroads back on track faster, and they promise safety won’t take a hit. Public comments are open until Jan 16, 2026—would you support this? #Transportation #truckingnews #railroad00Share
