[QUOTE]Originally posted by Southwest Chief: [QB] I was in Albuquerque last Thanksgiving and there is no present wye or balloon track. But from what I remember there is plenty of room for a wye. And with the extremely long servicing stop, the train could be wyed during the servicing time. So this reroute isn't all impossible. As for the express and mail, Albuquerque has thier own switcher dedicated to servicing the Chief's roadrailers and boxcars. So express and mail are certainly big in Albuquerque. So here is my solution. Train number 4 would continue to Albuquerque(ABQ) as it normally does, turning of the main at Dalies. When it gets to ABQ it would be wyed and sent down the line again, but this time going east at Isleta and meeting the new mainline at Belen. Train number 3 would turn of the maineline at Belen and proceed north to Isleta and continue on to ABQ. There it will be wyed and go south to Dalies as it normally does.
