UP-SP Houston girdlock
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, October 18, 2004 11:46 AM
Hi.
I have a problem. I'm doing a report on the problems of the UP-SP merger, and I can't find anything that tells me where the problems in Houston began. I know Englewood Yard (former SP) filled up, and most of UP was stuck, but I need the whys and wherefores.
Thanks!

These issues are $4.95 apiece. The on-line description doesn't mention UP, but the stories are in there.

Just go back to our homepage and click on "Back Issues" in the upper left-hand corner, then follow the links to the issue you want to purchase.

Or you can call Customer Sales & Service at 800-533-6644 and order them over the phone.
