The $31 billion merger of Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern would be the first railroad network to extend from Canada through the U.S. to Mexico. The number of trains and amount of hazardous cargo are expected to increase following the merger, which creates the country’s smallest Class I railroad.

Those trains will pass through DuPage County communities once the merger is complete, as well as through Chicago. Members of the Coalition to Stop CP/KC expressed what they view as problems with the merger, including noise, potential disruptions in emergency services and hazardous materials in the wake of the Norfolk Southern derailment in Ohio.
