OK I see UP orders intermodal containers, chassis amid market strength do you think Locomotives are to follow?

we have 1500-2000 in storage so I doubt they're buying any.

Yes, 100 new locomotives that can be placed anywhere on the train.

Chief Financial Officer Robert M. Knight said the 2011 budget "will include buying 100 more efficient locomotives next year to start a program of adding 100 to 200 each year through 2015."
