Who are the Union Pacific's rivals?

Question

I am making a MSTS (Microsoft Train Simulator) and doing some activity with a simulation of the MNNR (Minnesota Commercial Railway) and knowing that the UP always blocks them, I want to know if I'm supposed to hook up other engines that make sense. The web wasn't very useful to me.

Answer 1

Mr. twinkles got it, with BNSF.  But don't forget the two Canadian lines that have a lot of trackage in the US (especially in the Midwest) - CN (Canadian National) and CP (Canadian Pacific).

To a lesser extent, the KCS - Kansas City Southern - is also a competitor, but not in the Twin Cities area.

Answer 2

Go to games section of YA!  There you'll find the experts.

But, I gotta tell ya, it ain't often that you find the words "make sense" and "Union Pacific" in the same sentence...

Answer 3

rivals are bulington northern santa fe and the norfolk southern.

Answer 4

amtrak

Answer 5

UP's chief rival would be BNSF.  They serve roughly the same territory and compete for the same traffic.
