The Canadian Pacific-Kansas City Southern merger will severely impact the environment if approved. Canadian Pacific anticipates 14 additional trains because of this merger, some of which will be transporting crude oil from Canada to Mexico. These trains, running on diesel, will result in 7,967,445.06 metric tons of new CO2 emissions from the commute, or the equivalent of a year’s worth of CO2 emissions in Jamaica. Not to mention, additional trains will carry 37,800,000 gallons of hazardous material straight through Davenport each day. The final Environmental Impact Statement needs to address pollution as a profound impact of added trains and consider superior climate-friendly alternatives.
