IL US Senator beats up UP

[Sam Damon]

Courtesy Crain's Chicago Business:

U.S. Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., is taking the Union Pacific railroad to task for frequent delays on Amtrak service between Chicago and St. Louis.
In a letter to James Young, chairman and CEO of Union Pacific Corp., the Senate's No. 2 Democrat suggests that the railroad is to blame for the fact that 53% of Amtrak trains on that route were late in fiscal 2007.
