I just read a paper dated '05 about the finishing of doubletracking of the BNSF main line thru New Mexico. I can’t find out if construction has started or not. Does anyone know what?
I believe the Abo Cyn construction is being hung up by some tree hugger group worried about the migratory path of… Well I can’t remember. As if 2 tracks will have some sort of serious effect that one track doesn’t. I’m sure the obstacles will be overcome and it will eventually be built.
Oh, and welcome to the forum.[8D]
I think also the NIMBY thingy is having a effect on this project.
There was a section of an article about the BNSF mainline in that area in TRAINS a few months back that spoke about the Abo Canyon construction which has begun as I recall and also spoke about the issue of the environmentalists.
