Here's a wacky not-gonna-happen idea, why not split the SWC at the last station before the split from the current route, then rejoin at Belen after the section taking the current route stops at Albuquerque? It'd require a somewhat complex switching move at both ends, but meh...it's a thought. Maybe the sleepers and Diner go through Amarillo and the coaches and SSL go the current route.
