UP continued to serve Pennzoil (at the intersection of Clement and Grand) for a time after the ABL stopped service, and also occasionally served the ex-SP team track at Broadway. The last cars there contained track material. The date commonly given as 1998 may be when ABL discontimued service. Not sure when UP stopped service, but will try to find out.
