Union Pacific said it looks forward to the upcoming steps in the Surface Transportation Board’s merger review process for its proposed acquisition of Norfolk Southern. The transaction requires STB and other approvals before closing, and the review could impose conditions affecting the combined company or expected transaction benefits. The merger is therefore subject to regulatory timing and approval risk during the pending review.
