Maybe not NJT -- they already serve Wyoming (in a sense).I'm picturing what would happen if Amtrak told NJT and LIRR they were going to do something like this. Their minds would melt!
The way it reads the Detour Days are between Salt Lake City and Denver which necessitates the Route being the UP through Wyoming!Is the detour through Wyoming? I have been wanting to do the detour for quite a while. It may be too late to change/make plans for September/October.
It is still there and still has freight service. Amtrak infrequently detours over that line, as it misses the station in Reno (I think).I've heard some parts of Wyoming are pretty but most of the videos I've seen of UP's mainline looked kind of dull and mundane to me. If there was a way to see whatever remains of their home shops along the way it would be a nice, but I think I read that UP doesn't allow any passengers to disembark while in Cheyenne, WY. Does the Feather River Route still exist? And if so do any passenger trains ever go down there? I wish Amtrak would end up on the Feather River Route once in a while. I'm not normally excited by rare mileage but I'd make an exception for that.
I don't think there is a Bay Subdivision. There is no Rock Springs Sub in Wyoming. West of Green River where the Rawlins Sub ends, it's the Evanston Subdivision to Ogden, UT.Where is the bay subdivision? Iirc the subdivisions in Wyoming have names such as Laramie, Rawlins, rock springs.

The Bay Subdivision isn't a freight route or designation. It is an Amtrak Subdivision ( e.g., Bay Subdivision, Northeast Subdivision, Hudson Subdivision, Southwest Subdivision, Michigan Subdivision, New Orleans Subdivision) that I believe is the former Pacific Division. If nothing has changed in the last year, it covers a great deal of California, a small part or Oregon and the Zephyr's route out to Grand Junction.Sounds like the Bay Subdivision is around Emeryville.
It skips everything between DEN and SLC, as far as I know.Out/into Denver does the detour route go through Greeley or Ft. Collins?
Or is it a crap shoot as directed by dispatch.
Ah, ok. Wasn't sure where those two towns were (and, so unlike me, didn't bother to look them up.)I believe he was asking about the route the detour takes, not station stops (none as you say).
