太平洋联盟和南诺福克公司正在考虑一项价值850亿美元的兼并,目的是在美国建立首部洲际铁路。 Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern are considering a merger valued at $85 billion, aiming to create the first transcontinental railroad in the U.S. 这笔交易将合并他们的网络,覆盖43个州5万多英里。 The deal would combine their networks, covering over 50,000 miles across 43 states. 虽然它有可能简化货运手续,但它受到担心竞争减少的反托拉斯监管机构的监督。 While it promises to streamline freight delivery, it faces scrutiny from antitrust regulators concerned about reduced competition. 是否批准也将取决于股东和监管部门的同意。 Approval would also depend on shareholder and regulatory consent.
