Of course the track is still there, it is the UP mainline down from Ogden to Southern California. While it may not have quite the traffic volume it did before UP adjusted their traffic patterns after the SP purchase, it is still a major line. The one other little thing they they need is UP's consent to run the train, arguably the largest single obstacle.It is likely that we will see train service to Las Vegas from California restored in the future but it may end up being a privately funded venture. The trackage is all still there. They just need to purchase and run a passenger train on it.
