NAME CHANGE: Union Pacific will now simply be called UP

Apparently it passes through too many right-to-work states where the word “Union” is no longer appropriate.

April Fools

[banghead]

How come this country fought the Civil War?

Tom

Really, do we have to rename all the union stations too

And War is really not very Civil!

Does the Union RR in Pittsburgh have to follow suit?

No wonder “union suits” went out of style!

Where did you get this information about the name change? I have the Union Pacific annual report in front of me. It is still Union Pacific and I do not see any proposal in the report to change the name.

Rich

Whooooooosh!

It was an April Fool’s joke that didn’t get posted until the third.
