(erielack) Re: EL List Daily V3 #1362

Mike Wikman is a former EL engineer and road foreman who has an incredible
knowledge of the diesel motive power of the EL. I'd like to see Mike get
together with the ELHS and document some of this stuff. As for the UP, I
feel your pain, Mike, they do need to reorganize. Hot Damn, What William
White could do with that property!

RUN THE BUSINESS AWAY LIKE THEY ARE DOING WITH INTERMODAL IN CALIFORNIA If I
was the stock holder I would fire Dick Davidson and all the MP cronies NOW,
This is again unbelievable but true.The railroad I work for will probably
loose three quarters of our business. This is sickening.. They ought to
split the UP in small pieces CSX too I got some stories about them too.
Commodore Vanderbilt's relative said LET THE PUBLIC BE DAMMED Davidson said
it too. and the UP wants !

INDUSTRY. UNBELIEVABLE TO BE SURE.
