@maxum96 Supposedly, the trackage is in solid condition to restore it. You would probably need to replace the entire signal system on the line. I doubt freight ever returns to the line. There's a lot of hope and potential for passenger service, though! That is if the Royal Gorge doesn't stop all efforts of it.
Wow, the lineage of those Rock and Rail GP40's is very interesting, too! 501 is an ex-WP unit, while 401 is a former DRGW "Smurf" unit that was acquired from Conrail and was built as PC 3128.
No it wouldn't.. The route has a terrible profile, stiff grades and canyons, both add up to high operating cost.. UP already has a superior line to the north called the Overland Route..
@ fair enough though I’m really only looking at it from a modeller’s perspective 😉 I don’t know anything about the Overland route so I’ll have to do some research on that too!

They’re been a lot of talk on the return of the Tennessee pass so this is cool
@Tracksidechase Hopefully all this talk is true!
Unfortunately UP is not likely to let another railroad take over the Tennessee Pass line.
@@maxum96 supposedly the Colorado Pacific is taking over it
@Tracksidechase I hope so. But I'm not going to hold my breath. The line needs a lot of work to be operational again.

@@Balerio2357 Thank you very much!
I'm loving all of these videos you've been putting out lately! Keep it up!
Also, that bit at the end is funny af.
Thank you! I'm really happy with how they've been turning out!
And yeah that was a major foamer moment XD
Excellent video!!
@roberthoffman7559 Thank you!!!
That was definitely a Southern Pacific horn 😎😢💔
What an odd coincidence that UP 6318(Ex SP 192) will be leading tomorrow mornings EB UP M-SALI28, also awesome video and nice catches😮
Great video I sure do like the Southern Pacific railroad I did learn the history about it because Southern Pacific is the family of Union Pacific
@@UnionPacific1943-hz2oc The Southern Pacific was a very unique railroad with a very unique history!
@ yep but you could try to railfan is the Utah railway you can get a nice video on the EMD MK5000C
I saw some of the TP route on a recent visit from the UK. It would be great if full service could resume over the Pass!
No it wouldn't.. The route has a terrible profile, stiff grades and canyons, both add up to high operating cost.. UP already has a superior line to the north called the Overland Route..

Other railroads could make use of it.
@@MilwaukeeF40C Such as? OPEX is not an exception.
Awesome catch!
Oh hell yeah
Yessir!!
Very nice video ❤
Thank you!
Cool video well done!
These black aggregate "Jennies" look a helluva lot better than those beat-up CSX ones on the "Bone Valley" line in Florida...

Fantastic train video. How long did it take you to edit this train video?
@@ElliottWolcott This video took me a few hours total to put together
Your map @ 1:41 has Ogden labeled as Salt Lake City.

I thought it reopened
@barrymeyer2805 Only Pueblo-Parkdale and Dotsero-Gypsum sees action unfortunately.
A wee bit misleading on the video title, don't you think? But, anything to get a view I guess.
How so?
It's a figure of speech.
