Change In Main Line Route Planned For Southern Pacific In Arizona
Plans envisaged by Judge Robert Lovett to extend and realign the Southern Pacific through Arizona and western New Mexico include three new links from Lordsburg to the Gila River near Duncan, from Cutter to Christmas, and a Gila River route to Yuma. The project would eliminate nine helper engine grades and connect with Arizona Eastern lines at Cutter and Christmas, with construction timelines unclear. Separately, turmoil near a local school led to a teenage boy's arrest after threats to shoot teachers, causing fear among students.
