Re: Hold on there, Taylor

Rick,
Sorry, I thought you had been with one of the California programs like the 2472 or something. So what you're basically saying is that UP isn't really opposed to running steamers as long as they have control of them. I can see why they have this attitiude, like you said, if anything happens, the people with the deepest pockets get atttacked. I guess I've been given the wrong impression about the UP. I just wish that more of the equipment that has taken years to restore could regurarly make some trips out now and again. Maybe people aren't so quick to sue about everything we'll see more steam.
Didn't the UP buy the OWR&N, or am I wrong about that. Also, unless I'm completely screwed up with geography, Portland is on the Columbia River, and it runs in a gorge. I'm not completely wrong. The SV would have probably never came into being if it hadn't been for the U&N, likewise the modern day Sv wouldn't be doing good right now. UP has done some wonderful stuff for organizations over the years, they still do.
Once again, I'd like to apologize for misjudging the UP based on what I heard. I'll verify what I hear before I believe it next time.
Taylor
