[quote user="mudchicken"]BNSF  (on a high fill, ATSF Vaughn depot to the west about 1/2 mile) over UP's Cotton Rock with a big Concrete Arch. Connecting track in the SW Quadrant. (A new one was planned, but never carried out...at least I don't think it was ever placed)[/quote] Are you sure the connection is in the SW Quadrant?  The last time I rode the head-end on the Cotton Rock, about three years ago, the connection was railroad-north of the Santa Fe, coming off the house tracks behind the depot, and railroad-south of the SP, and appeared to have been in that location since the 1960s, if not before.  Interchange has not occurred at Vaughn on anything but an exceptional basis. Both railroads are single-track at this location.  BNSF two main tracks ends at Vaughn and resumes at Carnero, with a long siding just west of the fill.  BNSF plans to fill this 10-mile or so gap with second main track by 2008, at last word.
