The UP RR back up plan for a closure of the Moffat is their original line through Wyoming, it's faster than the Grande from Salt Lake to Denver. The MNA RR route from KC to Memphis is shorter than the river route. Because of the MNA's endless 1% grades, tunnels, high trestles coal loads are sent to the east end power plant along the longer UP RR river route. The MNA RR returns the M-Ts to KC to reduce congestion on the river route. It's all ton per horsepower. JP
