SP/UP Traffic Agreement

Trains Magazine General Discussion
1

After Harriman’s failed merger of the Union Pacific and the Southern Pacific a century ago, I believe that one of the details of the “divorcement” was that the SP would sent a proportion of their traffic east via Ogden and the UP. I was goin gto do a little reading up about that with whatever I could find online (cuz, time)…but I can’t remember the name of the agrement! If I remember aright, it was the name of the city north of which the traffic would originate. Can someone recall it? I am simply blocked.

THANK YOU!

I was trying to recall “Santa Margarita” so hard that I never looked under anything else.

Now, I need a margarita…santa or otherwise.

Thanks again.

Yo’re welcome. Let us know if you find anything interesting. Not an area - subject or geography - that I’m real familiar with (yet).
