Beevers (MP 879,3) Beevers is just west of Abo Canyon. BNSFs Transcon is singletracked through Abo Canyon, making this section a bottleneck. This means trains are often waiting to get through - going west on highway 60 out of Abo Canyon, you can often see one or more trains waiting to go east. BNSF is currently doubletracking Abo Canyon, so this bottleneck can be eliminated.
