UP and NS Revised Merger Application Moves Ahead — Supply Chain Dive

The Surface Transportation Board is now reviewing the revised merger application submitted by Union Pacific (UP) and Norfolk Southern (NS), after rejecting their initial filing dated December 19, 2025, for incompleteness. Both railroads must submit supplemental information by July 27, 2026. Stakeholders have until May 8 to comment on whether the revised application meets procedural completeness requirements; substantive public review of the merger’s merits will follow only if the STB accepts the resubmission. This development marks a critical procedural step in one of the most consequential proposed Class I railroad consolidations in decades.

UP and NS Revised Merger Application Moves Ahead — Supply Chain Dive

By Thomas Wasson | 2026-05-28

The Surface Transportation Board is now considering the updated materials, and both parties are asked to submit supplemental information by July 27.

Refiled Application Under Review

Earlier this year, the agency rejected the application UP and NS initially filed on Dec. 19, 2025, citing the submission as incomplete because it missed “certain information required” by the board.

Stakeholder Comment Period Open

Stakeholders can submit comments on the completeness of the revised application until May 8, the STB announced. The board will seek comments on the merit of the merger at a later date if the revised application is accepted.
