Some of the more “desirable” examples of these UP engines have actually been dropped off at railroad museums for storage. The two I know of that have been so stored have had the fuel, engine oil, and cooling water drained and the batteries removed, so they’re not expecting to need them back for service any time soon.

“””It boggles the mind, and yet there are people out there that would actually have you believe that everything is just fine.””””

We have had full blown propaganda from the news media since hussein was elected. At some point the mask comes off and people will find out the truth.

“..We continue to get more evidence that the U.S. economy has entered a major downturn.”

We have been getting “evidence” of this ever since Obama became the WH resident. No news here — right on the plan of the radical, America-hating left. A healthy American economy is a fool’s story....been that way for some time.

Here is a short video I took a few months back near Gillette, WY. Lots of coal trains idled along with crude oil transport.

This is nonsense. Obama and the Ministry of Truth says, daily, that the economy is in an upturn, un-employment is at 5% and dropping.

Who are you going to believe? An Outfit controlled Chicago thief and his lying scum media, or your own common sense?

Wife and I drove past the line of engines just waiting as we passed through southern AZ last week. Somewhat visible from I10.

Even a year ago the railroads were scrambling for hardware; not so much anymore.

No worries! 0bama will replace them with 'Green' trains and hire lots of people.

Question: Could this precipitous drop in the velocity of money be an effect of the sheer number of dollars printed into existence be the Fed?

That can’t be happening. A couple of weeks ago, I heard on a newscast that the economy was booming.

We have been in a true depression for a while, masked by the government spending on entitlements. No one is standing in soup lines but food stamps are the same thing.

This is a single segment excursion. Not broad enough to point to an entire economy's trending.

Here's my rationale discussion point: I work for an animal health company.

Our recent growth in the companion animal business in Q1 was well over 20%.

Companion animal health product sales are what I would consider disposable income.

We don't ship by rail.

I thought Free Trade would begat an economic panacea. You can have more open free’er trade than with the USA right now with zero tariffs and trade restrictions. So what happened?

WOW! Those that are nearest in the pic are C44-9W prime movers that cost about $2m a piece.

I wonder how Buffet's railroad portfolio is working out?

Buffet's love affair with Obama may be coming to an end? Then again may be not.

Transport has shifted to trucks as fuel prices fell. DUH.

There has been talk about storing boxcars in Amory, Mississippi, because the economy is so bad. This was first hand from Norfolk workers in the area. This article just confirms what they have been saying.
