UP BNSF Connection
Posted by tatm07 on Thursday, December 14, 2006 7:42 PM
Does anyone know the progress of the Up BNSF Conenction at Edelstein. Just wondering when to anticipate it being done and how many added trains it will bring to Edelstein.

Other threads posted here earlier indicate that grading has been done, but track has not been laid yet.  The connection should be completed next year, and work on upgrading the UP Peoria Sub should begin by then.  Any increase in the number of trains would be dependent on what UP can stuff onto the Peoria and Geneva Subs.
