UPRR is a very honest railroad that wouldn't screw it customers, just its employees.

I figured they have screwed me out of at least $2500 this year alone on valid claims. Meanwhile our fearless leader keeps on with his bonus program for himself.

I love this f'ing railroad and this railroad loves f'ing me!

Watch out Guys and Gals. If the railroads do take a hit on a big anti-trust lawsuit, they'll make up for every dollar lost with track, locomotive and employee cutbacks. The remaining employees will have to work that much harder (again) to keep up with growing demands for service.

You wouldn't want the VP's and higher to do without their limos, corporate jets, country club memberships and multi million dollar corporate owned condos and junkets, would you? Of course not.

Try working Amtrak on the UP between Salt Lake City and Winnemucca. 33 going west, and 29 eastbound. A few stretches have 30 and 40 mph restrictions for over 15-40 miles each! And the public wonders why Amtrak is not on-time.

Meanwhile, valid claims are denied, your personal days are denied and trip rates implemented. Get 'er done! Keep velocity UP! Safety? 2nd to none!
