No wonder UP is shorthanded

And the UP is not the only one doing stupid things. <br /> <br />A friend who works for the BNSF told me he watched his railroad recruit and train locomotive engineers at company time and expense only to lay them off when they returned from the training school. <br /> <br />After nine months of training, these new engineers, with Federal license in hand....walked across the street and signed on with the UP who immediately put them to work. <br /> <br />My friend said that he tries to be careful with equipment and doesn't want to waste or damage BNSF property....and yet management is blowing tens of thousands of dollars training engineers for their competitor.
