In June 1983 the CSX Corporation offered to buy Texas Gas Resources. Texas Gas was the parent company of American Commercial Barge Line (ACBL), the nation's largest barge line. If the merger proceeds to fruition, CSX will control two major railroads, Chessie and Seaboard; a major barge line; and a trucking company. Because this multimodal ownership includes both barge and rail, the acquisition raised legal questions concerning the Panama Canal Act specifically and competition generally.
