Having spent some of my youth in the Chicago area I've always been familiar with C&NW's operating practicer of running their trains on double track lines in the opposite direction from the norm of most US railroads, similiar to the difference between the way Americans drive on the right side of the road whereas the British drive on the left side of the road. The questions I have are: <br />1. Since UP's acquisition of C&NW, how come they continue this practice on at least some of the old C&NW lines? and <br />2. Does anyone know if UP will continue this practice indefinately, or are there plans to eliminate this practice and align traffic on these lines to correspond the rest of the railroad?
