Folks, here are the facts. <br />BNSF said that if UPS wanted a high speed premium train than they should pay for it. <br />U.P. said we are willing to run this train for a lot lower price than BNSF and if we do good with this, then we want more of the U.P.S. business from BNSF. <br />UPRR even ran the train on a large portion of the BNSF. <br />BNSF said so long to the train. <br />UPRR then as always under estimated the amount of crews and the many trains that would have to be delayed to run the train. Then they under estimated the crews that would take early retirement and leave them without crews to even run their basic everyday trains. This on top of the fact that every RR has a power shortage right now. <br />When the UPS asked the BNSF if they would run the train they said no with good reason as we are running a full slate now without the extra hassle.
