The Grain Transportation Report covers the proposed Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern merger, announced July 29, with a decision expected in 2027. It also models scenarios where expanded Russian Baltic and Caspian port capacity would cut US wheat exports by 550,000 to 875,000 t, and Norfolk Southern embargoed wheat shipments to a Tennessee flour mill from July 25 to ease rail congestion.
Rail congestion and a possible merger affect US grain transport costs and reach to export terminals, while Russian port expansion would pressure US wheat export share.
