I saw something on the Trains Magazine Newswire that Tehachapi double tracking was part of California's transportation spending plan. I'm not subscribed so I couldn't read the article and I couldn't find anything else online about any recent developments. Does anyone know anything about this?
The UP Mojave sub is double track from Mojave to Cable,and from Bena to Kern Jct where BNSF retuns to their own rails.
It might be possible to extend the double track to Caliente from Bena,but not beyond that point, much of the single track hugs
the hills,as seen from Ca Highway 58.
Most of the passing sidings are fairly long in the single track section.
