You can see this on their latest maps. <br /> <br />So I believe there is new life breathed back into this line <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Any time the state is involved, politicians are involved. Any time politicians are involved, logic or economic justification or anything else involving rational thought go out the window. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Well time will tell.......... <br /> <br />I tend to think that this operation will work...if for no other reason if helps to ease the border capacity issues at El Paso and Laredo. <br /> <br />And as was mentioned earlier by dldance, with Union Pacific's interest in the border crossing at Presidio, this should further enhance the value of the former South Orient line to help allieviate border traffic issues. <br /> <br />
