Green light for class I-to-class I interchange
The US Surface Transportation Board (STB) has approved the acquisition of the rail lines operated by G&W’s Meridian & Bigbee Railroad (MNBR), which will result in the creation of a new direct Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) – CSX connection in Alabama (USA).
Through the transaction, CPKC will purchase and operate on the 85 km segment between Meridian, MS, and Myrtlewood, AL, while CSX will run the lines east of Myrtlewood.
As a result, CPKC and CSX will establish a direct class I-to-class I interchange at or near Myrtlewood and connect shippers in Mexico, Texas and the Southeast of the USA. The STB approval will come into effect on 16 November 2024. (ben)
