Kansas City Southern in talks on Canadian Pacific’s $31B bid

Kansas City Southern is in talks with Canadian Pacific to determine whether its $31 billion bid for the railroad is the best offer on the table after regulators rejected a key part of Canadian National’s $33.6 billion bid last week.

Kansas City Southern expected to terminate Canadian Pacific deal

Kansas City Southern is expected to ditch its merger agreement with Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. in favor of a competing proposal from Canadian National Railway Co. according to people familiar with the matter, a dramatic turn with big implications for the shape of the U.S. rail industry.
