The customer endorsements matter because regulatory approval for large railroad mergers in North America has historically depended not only on internal synergies but also on evidence that shippers will not be harmed; the visible backing from more than 500 customers gives Norfolk Southern and Union Pacific a quantified talking point in that debate.
