[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Mookie</i> <br /><br />One last one - this is a little tougher. [?] <br /> <br />I read the article about UPS going to UP. Then I read that most of UP's route west of KC is single track - while BNSF is multiple track. AND....UP has trackage rights over BNSF between KC and Chicago as a result of a grant to SP, on condition of BNSF merger, and SP was bought by UP. Are you still with me? <br /> <br />So....being a conspiracy buff to an extent - does BNSF have to be really nice to UP and not "mess" with trackage rights - under the table, of course. Behind the scenes type of thing. Am I just reading too much Tom Clancy? <br /> <br />I know in business how power struggles go on each day! Even here on a very small scale. Well, I think you all know where I am on this one. Any opinions out there? Ed, this should get you back on your puter! <br /> <br />Jen <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Ask an ex Milwaukee Road employee or railfan their opinion of BN (warning--stand at least an arms reach from them). I have read comments from some of them. Many claim BN did play dirty tricks to topple M R. I really don't know other than what I have seen written and heard spoken. Maybe Ed could shed some light on this one. <br />If so great, and if not, well that is ok too. This one may be too far out and away from his playpark for him to want to play. <br /> <br />
