JMHO but aren't many of UP's problems related to greatly increased traffic to and from the 'NAFTA plants' in Mexico combined with taking over a railroad that wasn't in the best shape to handle it? I saw something on CNN about the trans-border truck traffic being all bottlenecked as well, even pre 9/11. Imports from China have also exploded. I wonder how many parts and sub-assemblies come from China, go to Mexico, and finally return as finished goods to the U.S.? Could the pre-merger S.P. done any better with all this traffic? <br /> <br />Enron created artificial demand by sham-trading, I don't think that's the case here. Besides how does U.P. profit from the bottlenecks?
