[quote user="twhite"]<p>Now if they'd just re-install the double-track sections that SP tore out on the Donner Pass line between Emigrant Gap and Eagle Lakes, and Norden and Andover--something that UP promised would happen right after they bought SP, so many years ago, they could ease trans-Sierra congestion on their single-track Feather River Route, which is also partially shared with BNSF. </p><p>[/quote]</p><p>I don't know where this promise was made but I do not recall it and I was there at the time. It's not made in the merger application, which would be the best place to make it. </p><p>Actually all of the Feather River Canyon has BNSF trackage rights. As for congestion, it's not significant on either line at present nor was it present at the time of the merger. </p><p>S. Hadid </p>
