As a Missouri resident, there are many pros to living in this state. Access to many parks, restaurants, businesses among many other things. With the Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern proposed merger, there will be a lack of accessibility to these wonderful things, due to the effective length in trains that is being proposed by CP. The current average length of train in the CP and KCS fleet is around 8,000 feet, and with the proposed merger, it will grow to an excess of 12,850 feet, which is over 1.5x the current length. With the pandemic being at a resting point, people across Missouri are thrilled to experience many parts of the Missouri economy again, but due to lack of patience, Missourians won’t want to wait longer for a passing train, especially when there will be an average of 14.4 more trains per day.
