Union Pacific Sunset Route in West Texas

The busy former SP Sunset Route has been the property of the UP since September 1996.  This video shows 30 hours of action around Sierra Blanca in West Texas where the former Texas & Pacific line joined the Sunset Route, along with a couple of trains on Paisano Pass in April 1998 when this part of the Sunset Route was severely congested.  This video gives an unintended look at how a busy rail line can become gridlocked when power and crews are in short supply.  80 minutes.
