Tariff shifts threaten Arizona rail traffic and Sunset Limited
Arizona reports warn new passenger tariffs may divert through traffic from Southern Arizona and Southern New Mexico to the Santa Fe and Southern routes.

Arizona residents would face reduced, slower service and routes restricted by the El Paso Gateway change. Cattle growers set November 10 meeting in Phoenix to discuss Congress’ grain and meat industry legislation and its impact on market structure.
