The United States Surface Transportation Board has granted the necessary permission for Canadian Pacific Railway’s acquisition of Kansas City Southern Railway. The US$31 billion purchase would form a unified, single-line freight rail network connecting Canada, the US and Mexico—a significant milestone in modern railway transportation.
