       The Union Pacific Railroad has begun a near $12 million project to upgrade its main line in the southeastern part of the Panhandle.

     Railroad spokesman Mark Davis says work began between Big Springs and Potter on June 24th and is scheduled to be finished in mid-August.

      The work will see the U-P replace more than 90,000 ties with concrete tied, spread nearly 29,000 tons of rock and renew road surfaces at 50 crossings.
   
     Davis says that, despite the down economy, the railroad invested more than $254-million dollars on capital projects in Nebraska along last year...and plans to spend $1.7 billion on track improvement this year across its entire 32,000-mile system.
