Me too. I miss the "old"(pre1982) UP. Back in the 60s and 70s UP was an interesting railroad,with Turbines,DD35s,both As and Bs,U50s both B-B and C,and Centenials.
The City fleet of domeliners were beautiful trains.[:)]

There is nothing wrong with Union Pacific, but what they are doing to the model railroad manufactures is annoying.

I like Union Pacific, their TURBINES were the best!

I personally have nothing against UP......CN on the other hand! [censored]

Amen to that!!! (CN Sucks, NS too) But I do understand where espeefoamer, route_rock, Randy Stahl, OldArmy94, are coming from. But I have a feeling all Class one's are like that (just guessing).

Whenevr UP "merges" with another railroad, that road dissapears completly and the only thing left is a bigger UP.[:(!]

Well put Randy.The great big yellow blob eating everything in its path.BNSF went through the same thing(still is in some places)when it took over the Santa Fe.But UP is a like it or hate it kinda place.Almost like the Pennsy in days past.I have heard people say shortlines dont hire just anybody,well my friends then UP is an awful shortline.I have had guys come to my little regional class II that said UP wanted nothing to do with them and some of them have experience!It seems UP wants to pick and choose and take three months to decide whether to hire someone or not even though they female dog "Our railroad is melting down we need people!"I dont get it. I think the lawsuit is a diversion.Let everyone focus on something else instead of their drop in average mph and rise in times between crews.I tell you what it is a stupid lawsuit and am curious when they start to claim domain over any line they have merged into them as well.

I don't dislike the UP any more than I dislike any of the other class one RR's. With their heavy handed approach to policy , disapline, and squeezing profits out at the expense of the employees. Hiring incompetant managers with all kinds of usless degrees and getting NEW ways of running a railroad crammed down your throats. It is apparent that the big RRs don't give a damn about the ordinary RR worker, the execs are too busy patting themselves and eachother on the backs.

I think that UP's dealings with Lionel and other model companies have created ill will. Also, UP suffers from the "Wal-Mart Syndrome". They're ever present (at least in the Mid-West/West) and they are viewed as big and boring. As a railfan, I wi***hey weren't so "omnipresent" but as an American capitalist, I see them as a success story.

Is it just me or is there a lot of dis-like/hatred for Union Pacific. If so, WHY?!
