Eventually.

 

Dispatcher Twelve put on a master class at Daggett on how to get trains onto the Santa Fe in a timely manner. Facetiously of course although this move did eliminate any route for eastbound trains and it did keep a Trona, California to West Elk, Colorado empty coal train on the BNSF's Mojave Subdivision for longer than I'm sure they would have wanted it to be there for.

 

With track and time in effect on the BNSF side (working on the pads on the grade crossing with A Street) Union Pacific stacked up four trains between Daggett and Yermo and with no other eastbounds other than the previous one mention left on both the Cajon Subdivision and Mojave, this did seem to be quiet the move. As Union Pacific's Manifest from Ogden, Utah to West Colton, California (left) rumbles up on the number one with a six pack of various General Electric locomotives on the head end, alongside them on the number two is the ISCLB (Intermodal Salt Lake City, Utah to Long Beach ICTF, California) as they wait for the go ahead from the BNSF to proceed westward. Once the track and time is released the Ogden Manifest will head out first with all twelve thousand feet of mixed manifest for the LA Basin, after which the Salt Lake will have it's moment in the sun with it's crappy SD70M leader then the other two trains will come through, after the BNSF slams a half dozen or so Intermodal trains through.
