So what's on the UP Grill's menu.........hmmmm

The Southern Pacific - A hodge podge of tough meat with dirty rice
The Cotton Belt - double portion of the same
The MoPac - corn fed beef sandwich on a hearty roll
The Kate Shelly - Deep Dish Chicago and NorthWestern style pizza
The Rio Grande - Rocky Mountain Oysters on a bed of french fries
The Miss Katy - A fresh garden salad for the light appetites

I forgot today's special...the Model Railroader......it's a dessert bar. Make your own sundaes, pay based on weight then add 3% in royalties.....you get to keep the UP collectors bowl though.

The Mo-pac sounds good, and the wife wants a Miss Katy, extra dressing, hold the bad track.

Matt will have to go with Auntie Mook check out the fries and "rockies main line" ice cream.
stay safe

Run by the same people who ran the beanery at 1416 Dodge on the first floor?

Chef Setniker, no less. Maybe they sent someone to food school?

UP Corporation sued a Pennsylvania company hired to keep trees and other vegetation clear of rail crossings through the UP's 23 state system.

A Hazleton PA company failed to maintain an Arkansas xing - where a woman and daughter were killed 8/7/2000. UP settled a lawsuit for $12.5 million.

Now UP wants the PA company to pay UP $12.5 million plus attorney and legal fees.

The company is in the 4th year of a 5 year contract and was hired after UP acquired SP - and found SP trackage to be in need of attention. Vegetation was cleared 8 weeks before the accident - (that's 2 mos and even in Nebraska, weeds will grow pretty fast in 2 mos!).

But the next item has me packing Millie for a road trip!

UP opened a 2nd floor cafeteria at their headquarters in Omaha at 14th & Douglas. To the public!

Offer several food stations: a salad bar, deli, pizza station, entree station, grill and healthful eating station with dishes like poached salmon filet with steamed veggies.

It draws an average of 1700 people a day and 20% aren't UP employees.

Lunches are priced at about $5, with some specials for $4. UP employees receive a discount (wonder if that includes Foamettes?)

Sounds like a good deal to me and maybe even fun! Will have to check them out and see if they measure up to our diner!
