Western Railroad Discussion > UP DS7 Bob (RWP) ?????

I haven't heard Bob (RWP) on the scanner in a while. I always enjoyed listening to that calm mid-western drawl on the radio. He always came off as knowing how to run his piece of RR (Cima & Caliente Subs) and it seemed that nothing ever flustered him. Has he retired?

Old Bob out in Lost Wages

retired maybe? I don't see him in the up phone book

Bob, I just found out from one of Bob's colleagues that he did in fact retire from the Union Pacific.
