What Is With This UP Near-Meltdown Thing?

[K. P. Harrier]

How could things nearly meltdown for UP in Southern California and nobody seem to know why? (TRAINS, June 2004, page. 12, column 4, particularly paragraph 3a)

If someone gets punched in the face for doing what he or she were told to do, as word got around, who would do what they have been told to do anymore? Will not everybody then instinctively go strictly by the book, no matter how long it took, or even if it financially costs the company super dearly? And yet, hardly anybody would ever be able to pinpoint exactly what was going on because everybody WAS doing everything exactly by the book

When one is the "biggest", and there are problems in the industry, one has "big problems" no mystery there

The sighting of a solid train of CSX containers on a UP freight on a BNSF line indicates maybe the UP is getting a handle on how to solve its problems.

Don't know what you are ever going to do to change that As I mentioned in another thread, recently I saw an all NS Triple Crown Train, sporting all BNSF power, on CSX track

If the "showmen" care so little about tradition, well then, good luck to you as cameraman.

You can't photograph that which doesn't exist

Yup, that's just the way it is nowadays, you can never tell what railroad it is by looking at the power anymore.
