Western Railroad Discussion > Sunset route double tracked?Date: 09/16/23 15:50 Sunset route double tracked? Author: bayhop Supposedly, UP double-tracked much of the Sunset route LA-El Paso. Does anyone know how much of it is still single track? I think a winding section west of Tucson is still single track.

I heard they were doing some work in this in section, do you have any details on exactly which segments have been graded some far? Date: 09/18/23 09:42 Re: Sunset route double tracked? Author: baretables I don't have time to repost it, but searching "Sunset" "double" using the All Words and Western Boards option going back a year will show at least three threads with detailed information and an estimate summary based on that for Yuma to Estrella. Estrella is west of Maricopa and the current west end of double main from El Paso.

Yeah...they'll need a new bridge over the Colorado River. I think it is single track west of Cactus, about 20 miles west of Yuma. And still single track from Salton to Thermal through Mortmar and Mecca. |
