Read they want to suspend signals on part of the Winnemuca sub in Nevada . Dirt blown in so bad in ballast it’s causing false signals and lots of train recrews. Lack of undercutting to clean sand out. Anybody experienced the trouble there?

Never heard of or seen a Winnemuca sub on a menu. What kind of sub is this ? I usually stick with Italian subs.
UP let it deteriorate to cr-p with more derailment and service issues.
Isn't PSR grand
How bad is that section of Winnemuca sub?
Track and signal both desperately need more boots and the ground and more trucks. The baling wire and duct tape temp fixes aren’t holding up anymore.
I’m sure the problems are caused by too much maintenance

Many signal and maint. way laid off . Tracks, ballast, signal systems not maintained correctly .
