This train, however, does not run on Sunday's. Instead, a MNYGJ runs from North Yard to Grand Junction. Here, the MNYGJ departs from Main 3 at C&S Junction. As it heads west towards Lowell Street, it passes by stacks of concrete ties which will be used in the installation of a second main track.

This has been done to allow UP to add a second main track. Whether or not the new track will use the old BNSF alignment here (utilizing the existing grade crossing) remains to be seen.

UP will be adding a second track here soon. Once the second track is in, the BNSF tracks will no doubt be hooked back up. The question now is exactly where will the BNSF tie back in.

BNSF's Golden Sub has been severed from the UP at C&S Junction. UP is working on extending a second track west of C&S.
