BNSF/UP Joint LineThe BNSF/UP Joint Line runs from Denver south to Pueblo. It is basically 2 single track lines close to each other. On order to get a high capacity the to lines are run as one double track line, called the Joint Line. BNSF coal trains from the Powder River Basin in Wyoming to powerplants in Oklahoma and Texas is a large share of the traffic on the line. | ||
