Here's something I found I thought you'd like to see:
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – The largest U.S. railroad is turning away some business as it struggles with a train crew shortage that has put its system near capacity, company officials said.
“There is more business than we can handle, really,” said Kathryn Blackwell, Union Pacific Corp.’s general director of corporate communications.
Beginning Monday, United Parcel Service will use trucks to transport packages that would normally go on Union Pacific’s express rail routes once a week each way from Los Angeles to New York, Dallas and Memphis, Tenn.
Under the one-month arrangement, Union Pacific will pay the added costs of drivers, gasoline and other expenses of putting those items on trucks, Black said.
