I remember seing a quote from UP chief *** Davidson after the railroad got back on it's feet after the merger. 'there won't be another merger soon the customers don't want one'. I thought that was a classic PR smokescreen. After BN and Santa Fe mergered the ego's at UP would have deflated at that they no longer had the biggest RR. Look at how much they were willing to go after Santa Fe. They wanted the biggest railroad so went after SP and really stuffed it up. Yes I'm an SP fan and I lament the loss of my favourite RR but when/if future mergers occur high level management better listen to the guys in the field who run the yards and the trains instead of just saying this is the way we do things and you're going to do this way too.
