<p>The posts and pictures on the Sunset Route update have been very informative. </p> <p>The expanded Panama Canal will be ready for larger ships in the not too distant future. This means that the big container ships that now call at west coast ports will be able to sail through the canal and dock at ports along the Gulf of Mexico or along the east coast of the United States. Some of the east coast ports, i.e. Charleston, Philadelphia, are expanding their docking facilities to service the larger ships that they expect to call on their facilities.</p> <p>If a significant number of container ships bypass the west coast ports as per above, what will it mean for traffic on the Sunset Route? Has anyone seen whether UP has factored this potential diversion of traffic into its investment in the expansion of the route?</p> <p> </p>
