Do most UP trains coming down from Las Vegas that run over the BNSF from Dagget down to Colton end up switching over to the Palmdale cutoff so that they are on home rails or do they stay on the BNSF. And what determines their routing; congestion I assume or maybe the trains final destination (i.e. West Colton, Mira Loma, Long Beach, etc)?
