Clark, *OTY2K, Fully agree with each statement made. UPRR was on the leading edge of cleaning up their systems about 4 years ago. It's likely that they're in pretty good shape from a Y2K perspective. Now if they could only run a railroad. :-) So, when is it going to be a priority?* Answer # 1: When the incumbent maintenance manager realizes, he'll still be in the job when the systems come crashing down around his ears. Then, the problems will be prevented. This, is at best, a partial solution applying to a small %age of systems. Answer # 2: New systems are usually Y2K capable. If not, time for the "chain-saw" approach to staff motivation.
