A complaint box for those tired of always hearing about how bad the UP is.

<P>In addition to the steam program, UP Yellow and the winged herald date back to the start of the diesel age, so they are really part of UP's heritage as well for fans of the UP. As far as the old C&NW, I remember riding the old C&NW North commuter line when there were so many vertical dips in the track over the viaducts, one almost needed a seatbelt to avoid hitting the ceiling. From what I can see on the west line, the pink ballast is still there, the left-hand running is still there, but the track and ballast are in great shape, there's plenty of modern power, and no shortage of traffic. I'd guess there's at least a few former C&NW employees who don't miss the tight budgets of the past. Sure I miss the old semaphores, but Class I railroads are becoming more and more alike. </P>
