It seems to me that UP, along with most other railroads, do a fine job of paying their own way.
Note the other transportation companies and what they receive in handouts. Try trucking companies for a start. Highways are not cheap, maintenance is costly, and now they'd like exclusive lanes.
Investing money into railroad infrastructure to move freight seems like a good idea. That is, if you want to keep California economy moving.
