Western Railroad Discussion > More UP killsDate: 09/25/20 10:13 More UP kills Author: tomstp Now UP has eliminated the Longview Tx yard jobs. Yard is totally empty of cars. You wonder what is next.

Date: 09/25/20 12:45 Re: More UP kills Author: deefrank87 Doubt they would just hand over the Eastman chemical business as that's a big customer for UP

Try this: https://www.eastman.com/Company/Worldwide/our_sites/Pages/Introduction.aspx Date: 09/26/20 17:01 Re: More UP kills Author: deefrank87 Also UP still has a local that goes on duty in Longview so maybe the yard was just empty when you stopped by
