On May 14, The Capitol Forum hosted a conference call with Roger Nober, Director of the George Washington University Regulatory Studies Center and former Chair of the Surface Transportation Board. The conversation was hosted by The Capitol Forum’s Senior Correspondent Josh Kosman.
In this timely discussion, Nober examines the proposed Union Pacific-Norfolk Southern rail merger and the regulatory, competitive, and political issues surrounding the transaction. Drawing on his experience leading the Surface Transportation Board and working in the rail industry, he explores how regulators may approach the merger review process and what market participants should be watching as the deal moves forward.
