UP thru Spokane

Problems: The hard left turn at East Spokane for UP trains leads them up a hill with 1.7% grade and reverse curves that would be of no use for those long, heavy trains coming down from Canada, unless you start adding swing helpers and all manner of other tricks. UP does not go through Kahlotus; you'd need to relay that Connell branch clear east to Hooper and add a new connection there due to elevation differences. What you refer to as the "NP viaduct" through downtown already has two main tracks, and most of that viaduct is a massive earthen fill contained by walls. No need to raise or widen it.
