After UP took over they adjusted the mileposts and Coyote where my husband farmed which had been mp 63 became 59.8 or something like that and WVJ which was mp 100.4 became 97 and I recall listening to Tommy the Rocket DelaRosa telling the DS that he didnt give a goddam what UP called it, it would be 100 to him! Also the DS told Israel Bugarin of MOW to go check the bridge at mp 77 and after a long pause, Izzy says “ Weeel, hokay, but there eeez no breedge at mp 77”.
