CN/EJ&E merger would tie up traffic

I am against the CN railway company decision to merge with the EJ&E railroad company. Even though it would be good financially for the company to merge to alleviate the bottleneck in Chicago, it would not be good for some of the suburb towns the merger would affect.

There will be increased traffic because more people would be waiting at railroad crossings longer since the merger would increase freight train traffic. This could potentially also affect emergency services in some of the towns affected. That is why I am against the merger with CN and EJ&E railroads.
