Union Pacific Railroad: The railroad operator has announced plans for a $85 billion merger with Norfolk Southern as early as the end of November. The merger would for the first time give a single company control of a coast-to-coast rail line. Union Pacific will need approval from the Trump-controlled Surface Transportation Board (STB). Trump fired STB board member Robert Primus in August after Primus made clear his opposition to the proposed merger. In its SEC filings, Union Pacific states its business is affected by the following policy issues, among others: railroad laws and regulations; health and safety laws; labor and employment laws; environmental standards; and taxation. Lobbying priorities: broadband and telecommunications; rail safety; the Surface Transportation Board; the proposed merger with Norfolk Southern; truck size; trade and tariffs; locomotive emissions; collective bargaining; rail ports of entry at the U.S.-Mexico border; cybersecurity; the tax and budget reconciliation bill.
