The title of this thread was obviously a virtual razzberry to my previous one, so allow me to retort: Grow.  A.  Backbone. Why does everybody hate the UP so much?!  I'm not even sure that that was the accepted premise.  A better question might be:  Why did Charles Schulz feature Beethoven as Schroeder's preferred composer in the Peanuts comic strip?  B/c he was the most famous composer.  Why is the crocodile one of the most feared species on the planet?  B/c he's survived the longest, and is therefore the most "successful" living species today.  Why did I make a "UP complaint box"?  Because, as the biggest Class I, and the only one (as far as I know) that makes TV commercials, you guys are the face of railroading, whether you like it or not.  Speaking for myself, I love all railroads, and I want to see railfanning and great pictures and photo-ops continue.  I have no particular knife out against the UP. I would never engage in the kind of "terrorist" acts that the UP (and other Class I's too) say they are now afraid of. But the biggest kid on the block, as the most visible, can expect constructive criticism.  That's all I was trying to promote.  By all means, let's hear more about BNSF, NS, CSX, and the other Class Is.  Bring it on!!
