A couple years ago, UP's Greeley Sub was the busiest single track mainline in the country! I am not sure if it still holds that title today in 2025. Regardless, it is still a very busy mainline. Not only due to through trains, but there are dozens of customers that are active along the line, taking and making shipments by rail. UP 9795 is taking the siding here at Platteville as two northbounds, one through and one local, are both out of Brighton.
