Union Pacific 150 Years

[Caesar La Rock]

In less then six months it will mark the 150th anniversary of the Union Pacific. They have a website dedicated to that. http://up150.com/

Any thoughts on this?

A pipe-dream for sure, but maybe as an anniversary 'gift' to the traveling public, UP will re-introduce passenger travel! Bring back some of the old names, place an order for a new fleet of rolling stock to complement the Heritage cars they still retain!

Impossible, yes. But something to smile about while sitting on a siding waiting for a UP stack train to pass while aboard the California Zephyr...

If passenger trains return to glory they had in the past when UP ran them then I could see that pipe-dream possibly becoming a reality. But until that happens it's fun to dream.

What are you guys smoking? This is the Union Pacific we're talking about! A great transportation company, but one that wants nothing to do with passenger service.

If passenger trains ever do become a money maker again you can bet the Union Pacific would jump on it. But it's like I said. It's fun to dream.
