Re: The "rude" UP Steam Team

I once had Steve Lee call me long-distance after having left a question on his company voicemail.

He took time to answer some questions that I had regarding tonnage ratings of UP steam locomotives. These were owing to my own curiosity, and were not prompted by any project or undertaking on my part.

I have also encountered the UP crew in person on over a dozen occasions across the system, and have always found them cordial, in spite of the responsibilities they carry with them, and the tremendous effort involved with the operation of one or more large steam locomotives in this day and age.

Steve Lee does not suffer fools gladly though. He has little patience for "foamers" and I've heard him express that clearly a couple of times.

This is not to say he doesn't like decent railfans. To me, foamers are like the stalkers of the railfan community. I blow them off too.
