UP's going to end its steam program because of one guy's whining?
If UP couldn't withstand a little railfan ranting now and then, the steam program would have ended decades ago. And the heritage fleet would have been chopped up and sold for scrap, too.
UP understands the public relations value of keeping steam alive, and thankfully is willing to commit whatever resources it takes to keep the program alive. As John Bromley once observed, "they are the nuclear weapons of our public relations arsenal."
