Are there any plans to do anything with this old Union Pacific line through Whitehouse (as in restoring it for freight service, trail conversion, etc.)?
This line has been either abandoned or mothballed south of the Trane Plant in Tyler since I was in the 4th grade (can’t remember if it was in late 2012 or early 2013 but it was along that timeline). All the crossing signs show “Exempt” and some track has already been removed, but the crossings still remain. Does Whitehouse or UP have any plans to do anything with it? The crossings are just an eyesore while the line is left to rot.
