Western Railroad Discussion > Musing tracksideDate: 05/22/20 14:51 Musing trackside Author: The-late-EMD Sitting here in Manteca practicing social distancing and a long U P train pass by with a long string of brand new clean reefers with Union Pacific cold connect painted on the side. With U P permanently closing cold connect what a waste of money. Who in the hell is running this outfit these days. I guess these cars will either go into long term storage are maybe BNSF will buy Them with all the new perishable business they are about to pick up.

The was a long article in several newspapers about this. Allen |
