Kind of the reason why I'm questioning getting 1111. I understand sometimes a business has to cut work force to stay profitable and competitive. But when you have, I think at one point 600, locos sitting idle in slc and you keep building trains longer and longer which effects delivery times of the goods you're hauling, it really makes me question your commitment to your employees.

That 1111. I can't believe how tone deaf and un self-aware UP was in making it. I also can't believe it hasn't been defaced to death.

I've debated about picking up another set to PTC all of them. But that right now is debatable as unlikely.

It has been defaced multiple times, and fixed. As for the 1111, when it was first announced as an employee vote to vote on the scheme, it was before all the PSR bs and furloughs. It was ultimately approved, and the release timing was what the big problem with it, right in the middle of turmoil of the furloughs and layoffs.

Had this unit be done before all that drama and antics, I'm sure it would have been received a lot better from employees and railfans.
