Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. announced on Wednesday that it had reached a deal with Kansas City Southern to create the first U.S.-Mexico-Canada rail network.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
KSC had decided that the CP Rail proposal was more enticing, causing the Canadian National Railway Co. to drop its rival offer for the U.S. railway. Now, CP Rail can progress with the merger in a deal that could be worth approximately <\/a>US$31 billion.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The combined entity will be named Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Calgary will be the global headquarters of CPKC, while Kansas City, MO., will be the U.S. headquarters with the Mexican headquarters to remain in Mexico City and Monterrey. CP Rail has also said customers will not experience a reduction in railroad choice as a result of the transaction and has <\/a>\u201ccommitted to keep all existing freight rail gateways open on commercially reasonable terms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c20,000 miles of rail, employing close to 20,000 people, and generating total revenues of approximately $8.7 billion based on 2020 actual revenues.\u201d<\/p>KCS President and Chief Executive Officer Patrick J.
