[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 568553, member: 13921"] The rumor that you used to hear all the time, was that UPS was going to buy a railroad. Have not heard that rumor in a few years (since the last round of big mergers). There was a time, when UPS was, by far and away, Santa Fe's largest customer. Some pundits thought UPS could actually make more money by buying the Santa Fe and running it the way we run the package division. UPS is still one of the largest customers of the BNSF, but the combined railroad is probably too large to buy. Don Philips (transportation writer) wrote at least one column that explored the idea, might have been more, but I remember reading one for sure in Trains. TB [/QUOTE]
