<p>I take nothing away from UP, but this is a heroic accomplishment only if you compare it to the feeble organizational and logistical capabilities of most corporations and government entities. This is <em>nothing unusual</em> for railroading. NS's accomplishments after Katrina were 100X the magnitude of this. Some other organizations I've had the pleasure of working with that have a similar attitude and understanding are electric utilities and combat units of the U.S., British, and Australian military, organizations that understand geography, time, and weather. </p><p>Most organizations can't live outside of their nice climate-controlled box with their needs like power, water, policing, office supplies all arriving like clockwork magic. Railroading is a game played outdoors in the middle of nowhere, 7/24. You get it right or you're run out. </p><p>S. Hadid </p>
