Logos for Canadian Pacific and Kansas City SouthernWASHINGTON — The location of one of four in-person public meetings to comment on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Canadian Pacific-Kansas City Southern merger has been changed, the Surface Transportation Board has announced.

The meeting set for Sept. 15, 2022, at 6 p.m. CDT will now be held at the Downtown Event Centre, 700 Crockett St., Beaumont, Texas.

The other meetings remain unchanged: Sept. 12 in Itasca, Ill.; Sept. 13 in Davenport, Iowa; and Sept. 14 in Excelsior Springs, Mo. Details on those meetings, as well as three planned online meetings, and the form to submit comments online, are available at this web page.

The draft report, released earlier this month, determined there would be few negative environmental impacts from the merger [see “STB draft review finds little environmental impact …,” Trains News Wire, Aug. 5, 2022]. The full Draft Environmental Impact Statement is available here.
