CORP with some help from Roseburg Forest Products and their connections put the line south of Medford back in service a couple years ago, they seem to haul pretty much only Roseburg intraline traffic between Weed and Dillard over the line. Reports on Trainorders suggests UP might start using CORP as a detour for some traffic, though it might just be empties headed to CORP anyway. The CORP line is blessed with lots of steep grades, very close clearances, and slow track, it is a slow and expensive line to operate for any sort of through traffic, and at least for the next few months operations south of Medford are limited to nights only on account of fire danger.
