In this episode of Watchdog on Wall Street, we dig into the proposed Union Pacific–Norfolk Southern merger that would create the first coast-to-coast rail monopoly in U.S. history. Supporters say it’ll streamline shipping. Critics warn: higher prices, job losses, and a stranglehold on critical infrastructure.
Here’s what you’ll hear:

• Why this $85 billion deal could reshape American transportation
• How private monopolies lead to price hikes and weaker safety standards
• Why labor unions and major shippers are sounding the alarm
• How autonomous trucking could disrupt the entire freight landscape
• And why rail giants may be scrambling to survive the future

This isn’t just a merger—it’s a power grab. And the stakes go far beyond the tracks.
