[QUOTE]Originally posted by rresor: [QB] To comment a bit more on Mr. Norman's comments: A perusal of current the BNSF employee timetable reveals that Belen has six main tracks and two wyes (north and south on the line to/from El Paso). Albuquerque has a "turning facility", probably a wye (though I don't know how long the tail is). A re-routed #3 would simply proceed around the connecting track and north to Albuquerque at 59 MPH (the El Paso line is unsignaled). At Isleta, it would enter signaled territory for the last few miles into ABQ. The train would have to wye, either in whole or in part, in ABQ. It would then head back south to Isleta and west to Dalies on its current route. Doesn't seem like such a big deal to me. The critical issue is the capacity of the "turning facility" in ABQ.
