Hey silly CORP, without money there won't be any employees !!! This applies to any owner of the RR, past or present. Perhaps the new owners have dollar signs in their eyes after seeing the tax money the state of Oregon threw at the Siskiyou tunnel collapse. Maybe lightning will strike twice. It is ironic to me that only 2 years ago CORP was complaining about lost business due to poor car supply ( mt's) from UP. The sorry fact is the Northwest timber industry has clear - cut itself into a corner.( Their counterparts in B.C. are doing the same right now.) All U.S. railroads have seen a decline in lumber traffic the last 2 - 3 years; with more of same on the horizon.
