CNW trackage...
« on: December 04, 2008, 10:58:02 PM »
Good day all,

Out of curiousity,why did CNW go from 3 tracks to 2 tracks on the North Line,but retained all 3 tracks on the Northwest Line...Is it because of the reduction of traffic on the Weber Line? There used to be a couple of shippers on the North Line in the 90s(Hines Lumber and Temple Steel). On the Northwest Line, there is the lumber yard by Avondale and the Sandman,but that is it...Any thoughts?

In addition...I noticed that althought UP has ripped up other spurs along the line recently they keep the one going to Hines Lumber.  Any thoughts on that?

From what I\'ve seen,they use it for MOW equipment. In the summer,I saw a Burros crane and some gondolas with ties inside...Besides the spur that went to Temple steel,what other spurs have you seen ripped up?
