ICC Approves Santa Fe Southern Pacific Merger Path
The ICC on Friday cleared the holding companies behind Santa Fe Industries and Southern Pacific to merge their rail lines, forming a potential 25 000 mile system linking the Gulf Coast to the Great Lakes and West Coast. The two railroads will stay under separate management via a voting trust and ongoing operation, with a formal railroad merger decision to follow after public hearings. Santa Fe Industries and Southern Pacific reported combined assets above 10 billion and last year earnings of 108.2 and 120.1 million on about 3.2 and 3.1 billion in revenue respectively.
