That portion of the UP line is used mostly to transfer cars to BNSF's Peavine Division at BNSF's huge yard that runs along US 60 (Grand Ave.). The UP line continues to the west as far as Buckeye to serve a few customers.
From Buckeye to Wellton, the UP line was taken out of service in 1996 when Amtrak's Sunset Limited was blown off the tracks by a terrorist.
Phoenix-bound freight on UP's Sunset Line is sorted in Tucson and back-fed to Phoenix.
On the Outdoor Channel or whatever it is, there's a Brit show on acquiring and cooking wild game. A couple of weeks ago, the chef visited a farmer friend that was about to thin the flock of pigeons raiding his land. Shotguns were involved, along with a motorized pigeon decoy device.
That seems a lot easier and more rewarding than looking for bridges that need to come down that just happen to be the habitat of pigeons.
When I saw the headline my reaction was ‘Oh no!’. I thought it was the Mill Ave bridge which I have crossed so many times.
