NAME CHANGE: Union Pacific will now simply be called UP

Apparently it passes through too many right-to-work states where the word "Union" is no longer appropriate.

Does the Union RR in Pittsburgh have to follow suit?

 Where did you get this information about the name change?  I have the Union Pacific annual report in front of me.  It is still Union Pacific and I do not see any proposal in the report to change the name.

Whooooooosh!

It was an April Fool's joke that didn't get posted until the third.
