    This will be about 14 miles as the crow flies from my property in Central Texas. My place is just off the map to the west in the upper left corner. All the local farmers were upset with the location as it is some of the states most fertile "bottom lands" along the Brazos River for growing cotton, corn, sorghum and hay. However UP waved enough money at them to sell their land.

    Very impressive! With CSX boasting of downsizing and yard closures here in the east, it's wonderful to see a progressive property like UP investing for the future.

    How much larger will it be? (Physical size or capacity?)
