"Union Switch & Signal (US&S) announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Union Pacific Railroad (NYSE: UNP) to implement its real time Optimizing Traffic Planner(TM) (OTP) and Next Generation Computer Aided Dispatch System (CAD) throughout the railroad company's more than 33,000-mile North American rail network. "

Looks like UP will really benefit from this over the next 5 years.
