Was just curios about this. Do any class I railroads, mainly UP, BNSF, or NS use a double crossover anywhere on their system today?
MilesWestern said:Yes, the UP main I believe has one Crossing the BNSF(?) in Stockton, Ca.
Brian Schmidt said:Yes, but mostly no. They are only used where space is at a premium, namely in passenger terminals. They include an unnesssary and high maintenence diamond (crossing) in them that railroads try to avoid at all cost.
