Union Pacific Plans Upgrades at Soda Springs Crossings
Three UP representatives visited Soda Springs on Friday to discuss rapid crossing upgrades. They will fund about 75,000 dollars to modernize the second street crossing with signals and drop gates with an estimated 90 to 90 days for completion. The main street crossing will be longer and funded as a state UP partnership, likely 90 percent by UP and 10 percent by the state. After project completion, second and first street crossings will close, leaving main and third as the two crossings over the tracks. Soda Springs now handles about 1,000 cars daily, up from 250. The third street crossing will remain problematic for some time.
