"a very reliable source" ??? Come on ....

Southern Pacific wanted out of owning the NWP, and sold it off piecemeal to different entities. The roadbed is now owned by several government agencies, and I do not find it credible that they are "making payments", so how could the UP possibly repossess it, and, why would the UP even want it??
