[quote user="rcdrye"] UP has (or had at one time) the option of using either the former MKT or IGN lines from Austin to San Antonio.  The "normal" route is ex ATSF Fort Worth to Temple, ex-MKT Temple to Austin, ex-IGN Austin to San Antonio, ex-SP backing in.  The ex-IGN line crosses under the Sunset Route north and east of the former SP station.  The backup move is a little more than a mile, the junction is under I-37 directly south of downtown.  Grading and property line marks suggest there may have been an interchange track in the NW quadrant between the Sunset Route and the ex-IGN route at one time.[/quote] I believe the normal routing of Nos 21 and 22 is BNSF (ATSF) from Fort Worth to Temple, UP (MKT) from Temple to Taylor, and UP (IGN/MP) from Taylor to San Antonio. No. 21 does not back into San Antonio; No. 22 backs out of the station.
