Did the checks come from UP or did someone just say the money came from there? Those sorts of loans have to be approved by Boards of Directors, Shareholders and potentially regulators. These are public companies we are talking about. Absent real proof it is just more rumor and innuendo. The fact that CSX is trying out different management methods and equipment is nothing new. Does the fact that former NS honcho Tony Ingraham is now the COO at CSX mean they are likely to merge with NS? I doubt it. <br /> <br />No matter how it may appear or be rumored, things at the top don't function the way those of us closer to the ballast may hear. There's plenty of proof of that in the past... <br /> <br />LC
