Western Railroad Discussion > U.P.'s Sunset RouteDate: 09/29/11 14:01 U.P.'s Sunset Route Author: 4000Class Anyone hear how U.P. is progressing with its' double-tracking project over the Sunset Route? Earlier I read that it had slowed due to the economy & local opposition.

The bridge over the river is already double track.

They haven't connected the DT to the old SP double track yet. It might have something to do with grading nearby hills/sand dunes. Posted from Android |
