UP: To big for it's own Britches?

I visited southern Arizona in March and saw first-hand the meltdown that TRAINS reported in its most recent article. The number of trains stacked headed west and east on either side of Tucson was amazing---up to 20 at one count. I finally saw a stack train at speed headed eastbound through Wilcox (notable for its historic station and the great BBQ place in a train car next to the tracks). Good thing that SP and now UP want to continue to reduce track capacity by downgrading the line west of Phoenix which could help to alleviate some of the headaches---IF UP really wanted to run the trains. UP has always been overrated and their rapid abandonments and considered abandonments of ex-MP and ex-DRG&W lines again proves their short-term vision. [:(][:(]
