allows a more prominent UP operation within Run8. ties in better with future projects eminating from LA. Allows operation of both UP and SP equipment in our current roster. gives our existing West Colton Yard much more purpose, connecting it to LA. LOOKING WEST NEAR THE WEST END OF BNSF HOBART YARD WHICH FEATURES A MASSIVE TOFC OPERATIONĭue to the vastness of the LA and Inland-Empire region, we chose to leave out the UP Los Angeles Sub, and add the Alhambra Sub instead. But for the most part, these two lines are parallel, serving the same areas between roughly Ontario and Los Angeles.Ī UP COAL TRAIN MEETS A BNSF Z TRAIN NEAR THE COMMERCE REFULING FACILITY UP ran these two lines (and still does today), sometimes in a more or less directional arrangement. The UP\SP combination created the most consequences for this project.īecause of the UP\SP buyout, the SP Alhambra Sub (connecting West Colton Yard to Los Angeles) and the orignal UP Los Angeles Sub became a bit redundant. It is almost impossible to do one line without doing all three of them.ĭuring the 1990's, two major mergers\buyouts occurred the UP bought the SP, and the ATSF and BN railroads merged to form BNSF. Adding to this problem is the fact that for several miles, this UP line paralleled the old SP Alhambra Sub. The orignal (and main) scope of this project is of course the BNSF mainline, however, this creates a problem in that the Union Pacific originally had trackage-rights over the ATSF between Yermo and West Riverside, after which time the UP diverged off the ATSF and continued into LA on its own line (the UP Los Angeles Sub). Three Railroads (not counting LAJ, MetroLink and Amtrak!) In creating the San Bernardino Sub (SBD), we have laid and relaid several areas of this route at least three times in trying to come up with the best overall mix considering the above considerations considerably with great consideration. The vastness and density of this region in terms of urban sprawl. Industries served by rail constantly coming and going from year to year. Railroad Mergers, and the fact the originally, three major railroads had a criss-crossing network of track all over the place. Constantly-changing track alignments on mainlines. 
You will notice that there are extra areas outside of this scope, as we have intention for them in future projects.īecause this area includes Los Angeles, certain development difficulties arise, such as: However, we extended the original scope to also include Union Pacific and the LAJ. The original scope of this project was the BNSF mainline between San Bernardino and Hobart, inlcuding LAUPT for Amtrak. This line was originally laid by ATSF (Santa Fe) as part of their trans-con line. Run8's BNSF San Bernardino Sub covers an area of Southern California between San Bernardino\Colton and Los Angeles (Hobart Yard).
