It was suggested earlier in this thread that UP should reopen the west half of its Phoenix Line as a relief valve. Nobody would love to see this more than me, but here's the reality. Phoenix to Wellton is ABS/DTC with mostly jointed rail, and had lower track speed than Gila Line. It would take a major investment to make the entire PHX Line (Picacho-PHX-Wellton) as good as the Gila Line, and that money would be better spent linking up the sidings on the Gila Line between Picacho and Wellton. Sure would be nice to see those semaphores west of PHX kicked into action again, though.
