# Union Pacific rejects BNSF, CPKC claims on CN access, EJ&E rights deal

-   Union Pacific rebutted BNSF and CPKC criticism of its CN agreement, calling claims of reduced shipper options inaccurate. \* CN’s new Eagle Pass rights limited to Canada-Mexico traffic; U.S. traffic to or from Canada and Mexico remains competitive with BNSF. \* UP framed the deal as strengthening CN’s ability to compete with CPKC’s single-line Canada-Mexico route, increasing shipper choice. \* Expanded EJ&E operating rights positioned to route more traffic around Chicago, aiming to cut congestion and improve network reliability. \* UP argued the CN agreements are not a substitute for a UP-Norfolk Southern merger, citing roughly 10,000 interline routes for new single-line service.
