"The unfortunate thing about trademark law is this: it forces the trademark owner to be something of an SOB even when it does not want to be." You just hit the nail squarely on the head, Dave. I don't think UP is out the screw anybody with this decision. It's a simple matter of protecting their property from unauthorized use. Just like model railroad manufacturers have a rightful claim to their trademarks, so does UP. The shield logo, like UP's tangible property (i.e., right of way, etc.) is not in the public domain.
