SUMMARY: On October 29, 2021, 

Canadian Pacific Railway Limited,

their U.S. rail carrier subsidiaries Soo 

Line Railroad Company; Central Maine 

& Quebec Railway U.S. Inc.; Dakota,

filed an application with the Surface 

Transportation Board (Board) seeking 

the Board’s approval of the acquisition 

of control by CP of KCS (Proposed 

Acquisition). The Proposed Acquisition 

has the potential to result in significant 

environmental impacts; therefore, the 

Board’s Office of Environmental 

Analysis (OEA) has determined that the 

preparation of an Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) is appropriate to meet 

the Board’s obligations under the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) and related laws, including 

Section 106 of the National Historic 

Preservation Act (NHPA). The purpose 

of this Notice is to inform 

stakeholders—including members of the 

public; elected officials; tribes; federal, 

state, and local agencies; and 

organizations—interested in or 

potentially affected by potential 

environmental and cultural impacts 

related to the Proposed Acquisition that 

the Final Scope of Study for the EIS is 

available.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On October 29, 2021, CP and KCS 

(collectively, the Applicants) filed an 

application with the Board under 49 

U.S. Code (U.S.C.) 11323–25 seeking the 

Board’s approval of the Proposed 

Acquisition. CP and KCS are two of the 

seven Class I railroads in the United 

States, which are the largest railroads, 

defined as having annual revenue 

greater than $250 million. CP is one of 

Canada’s two major railroads, extending 

across the country and connecting east 

and west coast ports. In the U.S., CP 

connects to Buffalo and Albany, New 

York and Searsport, Maine. CP also runs 

south into the U.S. Midwest and 

connects with KCS in Kansas City, 

Missouri. The KCS network extends 

from Kansas City, Missouri to the Gulf 

Coast and into Mexico, operating across 

10 states in the Midwest and Southeast. 

CP and KCS provide rail service for a 

variety of industries, including 

agriculture, minerals, military, 

automotive, chemical and petroleum, 

energy, industrial, and consumer 

products. CP and KCS are the two 

smallest Class I railroads, and the 

combined railroad would be the 

smallest Class I railroad by revenue. 

Summary of the Board’s Review 

Processes for This Proceeding 

The Board will review the Proposed 

Acquisition through two parallel but 

distinct processes: (1) The 

transportation-related process that
