I'm passing along the following from a friend of mine in such of some answers:
For those who don't know a new CA/NV SPV Atlas is out and with it comes a question for you "Nevada experts". This new SPV atlas shows that UP apparently built a new alignment through Elko in where both lines (ex-WP and ex-SP) come together somewhere west of Elko and run on this new alignment through the Amtrak Elko station and then split again just east of there. Does anyone know when this new alignment was done and exactly how long is it? From the new SPV it appears it might be close to 5 miles, but this can't be exactly determined.
