Union Pacific - A "Y2k Confident" Company

I received correspondence today from Tim Brechbill at Union Pacific
Railroad. The email is reproduced below with his permission. I would
encourage anyone desiring clarification or with specific questions to
contact Tim directly per his request.

>compliant in 1998. This includes full system integration future year
>testing. All projects are on plan or ahead of schedule, and our original
>cost estimates in 1996 are still valid. I realize the concern with the
>railroad industry, how it relates to the supply chain problem, and I
>totally support the need for more awareness, but Union Pacific will be
>ready for the Year 2000. Please refer to our recent press release (

>402-280-6964 if you have any more questions about our Year 2000 Project.
