Moyers was all smoke and mirrors according to my dad, an ex-employee at SP headquarters. Customers were being told about "new rail" and "new capacity" laid on the sunset route while failing to mention where it came from and that it wasn't actually new. I don't know where specially on the Sunset Route it went, but probably multiple areas. Having said that, Moyers ripping out main one over the summit was NOT a bad decision. SP was running what, 10 freights a day up there on a good day? It's a business; nostalgia does not count. Cold hard facts of private industry, but it beats the alternative...

As to UP, the #1 track from Norden to shed 47 is probably at the very bottom of their wish list, if it is even on it at all. Never say never, but I wouldn't expect to see be seeing trains running on the number 1 track over summit anywhere in the future other than on your tv screen or computer.
