Here's another route question for you guys -- I will be updating my route maps of the Sunset Ltd soon also -- in a thread several months ago (I forgot what the title of it was), it was stated that the Sunset between Houston and Beaumont uses bi-directional running -- the eastbound route is different than the westbound route. Can someone explain again where each of these routes are, or, better still, provide a link to a UP system rail map map showing both routes perhaps?
(please don't tell me things like "Acme Tower to MP 111.5 to Dove Junction," since those features are NOT shown on DeLorme's 3-D Topo Quads!!!!!)
Thanks a lot! -- "Railroad Rich" in Florida

Off-topic, but that reminds me of the Sunset's three possible routings between LA and Pomona:
1. Metrolink between LA and El Monte, then UP Alhambra Sub 2. UP Alhambra Sub all the way 3. UP LA Sub

This site shows the point whereas Amtrak leaves the Sunset Route in Houston. Also show the Mo-pac line returning to Sunset route in Beaumont. Shown in the picture.
