Tennessee Pass

Any truth to the rumors about Uncle Pete opening the Tennesee Pass? A couple of the guys are talking about it, however, as big as the trains are now adays, and our lack of power, can this be done? Were lucky if we get 1.5 on the hill west of Montello. I wonder how we would fare on the Tenn. Pass if they opened it?
