Hi everyone. I was just wondering a little bit about the trackage and way that UP operates in the plains states.

1) In western Kansas, in between Oakley, KS and Limon, CO, there are two routes. Which does UP use more? If there were a pax route DEN-KCY, which would it go on? (I don't need answers saying that it will never happen, so there is no need to know).

2) Any information on the trackage agreement UP and BNSF have between Denver and Pueblo would be nice (i.e. how many trains per day, 50/50 ownership, etc.)

3) Along with #2, is there really any need at all for UP to still run trains down the Front Range now that they have abandoned MoPac and Tennessee Pass?
