The acquisition will significantly improve the fluidity of CN's rail operations in the Chicago region, rewarding customers with faster transit times and more reliable service. Under the agreement, U. S. Steel's Transtar subsidiary will retain railroad assets, equipment, and employees that support the Gary Works site in Northwest Indiana and the steelmaking operations of U. S. Steel. Transtar's remaining operations will become the Gary Railway.

The acquisition is subject to regulatory review by the U.S. Surface Transportation Board (STB). Both CN and U. S. Steel believe that if the application is approved by the STB as filed, it should allow closing in mid-2008.

EJ&E, a Class II railroad, operates over 198 main line miles of track encircling the City of Chicago from Waukegan, Ill., on the north, to Joliet, Ill., on the west, to Gary, Ind., on the southeast, and then to South Chicago.

CN President and Chief Executive Officer E. Hunter Harrison said: "This acquisition is good news for railroading in Chicago. Chicago is essential to CN's rail operations, yet it presents us with major operational challenges. This transaction will improve rail operations on the CN system and the rest of the Chicago rail network by moving CN trains out of the urban core to EJ&E lines on the outskirts of the Chicago metropolitan area."

U. S. Steel Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John P. Surma said: "This transaction is positive for all involved. Our EJ&E employees and customers, and the communities in which we operate will benefit from the EJ&E being part of a large Class I railroad, while U. S. Steel will be able to focus on the railroad assets serving Gary Works."

Harrison said: "This acquisition not only will give CN an opportunity to expand its service to the North American steel industry, but also will drive new efficiencies and operating improvements on CN's network. Streamlined rail operations and reduced congestion resulting from this acquisition will benefit current CN and EJ&E customers, the City of Chicago, nearby communities, and the overall rail network in the region."

CN plans to invest approximately US$100 million for integration, new connections, and infrastructure improvements to add capacity on the EJ&E line and allow network synergies to be realized over time. The acquisition, which will be financed with debt and cash-on-hand, is expected to be slightly accretive to CN's diluted earnings per share in the first year following STB approval.

The combination of the two rail networks is straightforward and will allow EJ&E's existing traffic to be moved more efficiently and at lower cost. There are no shippers served only by CN and EJ&E (2-to-1 shippers) who will lose direct rail competition as a result of the acquisition, nor will there be any other adverse impacts on competition. As in past transactions, CN is committed to keeping gateways open and honoring trackage rights agreements with all connecting carriers.

Gordon T. Trafton, CN's Senior Vice-President, Southern Region, said: "This acquisition will bring EJ&E's experienced railroaders into the CN family and will bridge what has been the missing link to connect the Eastern, Western, and Southern regions of CN's network. We will apply our proven business model in implementing this acquisition using the measured, step-by-step approach we have employed in our previous transactions to flawlessly integrate these operations."

CN will host a conference call for media and the investment community to discuss the transaction at 10 a.m. Eastern time today. Participants may dial 1-866-542-4239 or 1-416-641-6114. CN will also webcast the call via the investors section of its website, [link]

railroad tracks. That means walk, ride, sit or picnic somewhere other
than railroad tracks and property, where hundreds of people are killed
or injured nationwide each year.

"Trains do not take holidays," said Cliff Stayton, CSXT director of
Public Safety Awareness. "In fact, CSXT trains will be running on July
4. For safety's sake, residents should stay away from all railroad
property. Always expect a train."

Consider the following facts about the dangers of trespassing on
railroad property:
* Train tracks are private property. Walking or riding on any railroad
right of way or other railroad property without the permission of the
railroad is trespassing and illegal. Violators will be prosecuted, and
they risk the possibility of serious, even fatal, injury.
* Trains do not operate on a predictable schedule, and they can move in
either direction at any time. Always expect a train!
* Trestles are not built to be sidewalks or pedestrian bridges. Bridges
and tunnels only have room for trains to pass. Trespassing on railroad
bridges and in tunnels increases the chances of serious injury or death.
* Highway-rail intersections should only be crossed at designated
pedestrian or roadway crossing locations. Look for a second train moving
from either direction.
* Locomotives weigh approximately 200 tons. Trains with 100 railcars can
weigh more than 6,000 tons. An automobile being hit by a train is
proportional to a soda can being hit by a car.
* Trains cannot stop quickly! A freight train traveling at 55 miles per
hour needs more than a mile to stop. That's equal to 18 football fields.
* Trains can overhang the tracks by three feet on each side. Straps or
other tie downs may extend even farther. Standing next to the tracks is
dangerous.

CSXT has posted at every rail crossing a toll free number -
1-800-232-0144 - that citizens should use to call the company's Public
Safety Coordination Center to report an unsafe act or accident on CSXT
railroad property.

These tracks dont have any action when we go to them and it just gets real boring. It seems that when ever we have great racing action on a track. Nascar takes away 1 of those 2 races and gives us another boring and long race. Also, have you noticed that alot of the best tracks are on the east coast(in my opinion). I think we need more superspeedways like Daytona and Talladega.
