Linking Up The Rails in Merger Talks
The railroads Pennsylvania and New York Central discuss a merger to create a $5.5 billion enterprise. The plan faces Interstate Commerce Commission and Justice Department hurdles, but would unite two vast systems with 10,600 and 9,963 miles of track and 184,000 workers. The shift reflects a broader decline in rail freight share and a push for cost efficiency. Separate Vatican note outlines December 11 spiritual exercises at Mathilda Chapel with Pope Pius XII blessing high clerics.
