CALGARY — The merger of Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. with Kansas City Southern Railway Co. is now official.

U.S. Surface Transportation Board chair Martin Oberman said in March the combined company will speed up freight travel time and encourage tighter competition with the other five, larger railways. Stretching from Vancouver and Saint John, N.B., to Houston and Mexico City, the new Canadian Pacific Kansas City network will operate almost 33,000 kilometres of rail and employ nearly 20,000 people.

CPKC's shares in the railway will remain listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol CP and are expected to begin trading under the new moniker on Tuesday, the company said.
