So there will be no physical connection between the Orin line and the proposed DM&E PRB extension? That would eliminate the possibility of temporary usage of the DM&E by BNSF and UP should another Orin line flustercluck occur. It doens't suprise me all that much regarding UP wanting to shift traffic over The Crow and on down the Washy rather than mess with the Blue Mountain crossing. That in and of itself would probably nix a DM&E-UP interchange in Wyoming even if there is a physical connection to the Orin line built. UP's problems between Nampa and Hinkle may be worse than advertised. And I find it interesting that DM&E and DMV&W actually interchanged a few trains in Aberdeen before BNSF nixed it. How was this done? Did either DM&E and/or DMV&W have keys to the BNSF switches? Or am I missing something regarding the track layouts in Aberdeen? Does someone have a map of Aberdeen via Mapquest they could provide? This is more intriguing than I first thought!
