Western Railroad Discussion > UP Re-routes via the LA&SL/Tehachapi?Date: 01/10/17 12:10 UP Re-routes via the LA&SL/Tehachapi? Author: bradleymckay Haven't heard anything about the possibility of UP running FRC/Donner freight train re-routes via Las Vegas and Tehachapi. I'm hearing both Donner and FRC are closed and will likely be closed the next 48-72 hours.

mapboy Date: 01/10/17 14:08 Re: UP Re-routes via the LA&SL/Tehachapi? Author: SPMemphisFreight The UP was running a ZLAG1D detour thru Tucson and presumably GSR over the weekend. Issues with Overland route as well?

Just found this excellent report by espeeboy in 2011 : http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?1,2441661,2441956 A different author posted this excellent post from March 2011 : http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?1,3880234 ---- Daniel.

Author: ble692 They don't have enough crews in Bakersfield to detour a significant number of trains. They might get a few by, but with how short the extra boards are kept it won't take much of a hiccup in that small pond to make a big ripple and cause massive board chaos. Not that it ever stopped them from trying in the past.

Both tracks were out of service this morning for the spreaders (as is standard operating procedure) but at least six trains (that I know of) came over Donner today (including a westbound grain load, re-routed off the FRC).

Author: Fizzboy7 Something was just reported by Truckee CHP stating a major avalanche near Donner Pass Road. Don't have any further info. With the amount of snow they have been getting all day, plus what's coming, it's only going to get worse.
