Tennesse Pass: Owned by the UP between Pueblo and Minturn except for 12 miles between Canon City and Parkdale, which is jointly owned by the Canon City Royal Gorge Railroad and Rock and Rail Railroad. Track is in service between Pueblo and Parkdale with one UP local running 5 days per week, one Rock and Rail local running five days a week, Rock and Rail rock trains between Parkdale and Pueblo 5 days a week, and 24 tourist trains a week during the summer season through the royal gorge. Also, the UP has been running unit coal trains about twice a month between Pueblo and Canon City, leaving half of the train on a siding outside of Pueblo for storage, and taking the rest to the Power plant in Canon City. <br />Track is in place but out of service past West Parkdale. Currently the UP is installing electrocode CTC through the Royal Gorge, with plans to abandon the signal system once the project is completed.
