Eight suburban mayors are working together to try to derail a major railroad merger between Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern.
The mayors of Bartlett, Bensenville, Elgin, Itasca, Hanover Park, Roselle, Wood Dale and Schaumburg say the merger will lead to a 300-percent increase in freight traffic on Metra’s Milwaukee West line, adding that some trains could be three miles long.
On Monday, the mayors will present what they call "never-before-heard evidence and testimony" against the proposed $31 billion railroad merger.All the news you need to know, every day
