Tracking West
Sac Sub Detour
A closure of the Fresno Subdivision between Sacramento and Stockton sees the MNPFR backing its train up the wye at Haggin Junction. The train is backing up onto the Sacramento Subdivision, what was formerly the WP’s paralleling line to the Southern Pacific into Stockton, which is now the Fresno Subdivision. Once the train crossed the American River, the switch in the foreground would switch from the wye track to the mainline. Then the MNPFR would pull up to the first crossing in Midtown, less than a mile away, to swap crews before making its final stretch to Fresno.
