Hello,
I'm not making any demands or anything, but I just wondered... What if the Moffat Tunel somehow was never built and they continued to use the line over rollins pass? I have no Idea whether UP and BNSF would be running joint operations on it like today or if they (may I dare say) just abandoned the entire line in favor of Tennessee Pass? I just thought the idea sounded interesting. I looked at maps and photos and it was the biggest mess of loops that I think I'd ever seen! Let alone Devils Slide looks quite Frightening! Looking at today's traffic, they'd really have to blast alot to fit long passing sidings on virtual cliffedges!
Anyone's imagination sparked like mine?
