Bridge appears to be still up -- 2 hoppers derailed on the bridge -- cars are up right

UP will have more and more derailements due to reduced maintenance of track and bridges.  Once they get spanked by federal regulators, they'll increase spending on MOW, for awhile.

It is cheaper to deal with the derailments or fix the plant?

Probably derailments because cleaning them up fixes that part of the plant!   Just could not resist.

Anyone remember when they cracked down on UP during the 97 Meltdown?
