[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by K. P. Harrier The forum to date has spoken words of practicality in the topic SHOULD THE GOVERNMENT BREAKUP UNION PACIFIC? Regardless, though, government tends to do the will of the people. If the average citizen could read WAVE AT TRAIN, GO TO JAIL that was popular at this forum a few months ago, they may come to have a very different view of Union Pacific, a shocking view that may even unsettle most railfans! I believe what is saving UP is the ignorance of the American people. But, even government officials run for cover when public awareness causes the feathers of the masses to become totally ruffled. [/quote] I don't particularly CARE for UP,in fact they would rate #1 as my LEAST favorite Railroad, but that's beside the point. Know what REALLY ticks me off about railroads today,the unsightly way they maintain their right of ways. The local NS mainlines formerly owned by NY, Chi, & St L and the Wabash USED to be kept mowed where they came through town, nd now the near by Wabash is so overgrown with thickets, scrub, and weeds that you couldn't run a mower through there, you'd have to start with a chipper and a stump puller... And a recent walk through of NY, Chi, & St L on the west end proved they were no different Same company now, same ethics. Their energies to run you off their turf may very well be driven by the desire to not let you observe what else they aren't doing anymore, in terms of responsible property ownership
