Title

Subject

Union Pacific Railroad Company.

Description

Transition from sledges, crowbars, and backbreaking labor to the modern rail machines shown here has put the business of maintaining a railroad's right of way into the realm of a science. And it's a science that's expensive. Union Pacific Railroad has reported its track maintenance costs are running over $26,000,000 annually--nearly half the amount it cost for the road's original construction from Omaha to Promontory Point, Utah.
