Well does the new person have enough horsepower behind him to yank on Ed's leash and keep him in line?
For whatever reason some people think the UP is spending their own money restoring the big boy, my sources say it is a former director on the UP board who is donating the money for the rebuild.
It is too bad that for now nothing is running for the steam program, I suppose they can always run a certain GS4 and paint it black with UP heralds on it.....
