A group of suburban Chicago communities is appealing the recent federal approval of a major rail merger that is expected to bring more freight trains to parts of the area.In the appeal, filed Thursday in the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, the group of nine communities argued federal regulators' decision to approve the $31 billion merger of the Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern railroads was "arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, and otherwise not in accordance with law or supported by substantial evidence," and violated several federal laws.
