Model Railroading > Utah Belt at 1:1 scale?Date: 05/06/22 14:24 Utah Belt at 1:1 scale? Author: mile250 A change of location for the border crossing has been covered superficially on several industry websites (New Mexico vs. Texas). An entirely new rail lane from Mexico to Canada? I doubt it. More likely some new track in Mexico, some added or upgraded track in the US, and a bit more in Canada. I've seen no background for this proposal, which is odd. This is particularly weird because years ago a model railroader conceived and built a model "Utah Belt" railroad that would sort of fit this lane.

Victor B. Date: 05/07/22 05:05 Re: Utah Belt at 1:1 scale? Author: WrongWayMurphy That announcement about moving a new rail line from Tx to NM amounts to nothing.
Its just a PR stunt to try to stick it to Gov Greg Abbott. Mexico has little input where a rail freight superhighway in he USA would get built, assuming one gets built at all.
