Work Train

This morning, a Union Pacific intermodal train pulled up in Fernley siding waiting for Amtrak's California Zephyr to pass. As it happens, its cargo was loosely related to my Day Jobbe.

Keep 'Em Rolling )

I don't work for the intermodal portion of XPO, but my company (the former Menlo Worldwide Logistics) is part of the former Con-Way that XPO specifically wanted when they bought Con-Way and erased my own employer's corporate name. I think I might be the last employee of the company who worked at Menlo Park, California, which was the source of the then-fledgling third-party logistics-management company's name more than twenty-five years ago.
