Hot off the wire. This evening a special Union Pacific train will be pulling into Omaha. On board the train will be Iriqi Railroad Officials. Why are they coming? To learn how to properly run a railroad. The railroads in Iraq are beat up and looted and these guys want to learn how to clean their railroads up and how to keep them in good operating order. I think that it is a good idea. They need to get some working transportation in that place fast. What does everyone else think? Good idea or bad idea?

So does this mean they'll be teaching them to take over or bully railroads in Jordan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey???????

And will they be charging Iraqi model RRer's ofr the use of thier logo's???

   Have fun with your trains
