UP fined $50 Million...

[aardvark1]

Seems they were a bit lax on border crossing security.

Maybe a a slight increase in freight rates and a few less employees will cover the fine.

Have fun,

Maybe if UP (again) sues model railroad manufacturers about them using thier logo in trainsets ... they can raise some cash !

Fortunately all the controled substances shipped on UP that concern me is: Miller, and 80 Proof products that are distilled under the Bayone Bridge.:hehe:

Just say NO !

Don't text and drink, you might mis-speel a wurd !

you know, i never understood this. when we interchange a train from mexico, you really can't inspect it on their side of the border. when it comes across the border and something is discovered, then the UP gets fined (at least thats what they told us). anyway, sucks they are fined but they have the money, so whatever.
