Western Terminus

[edit]

Looking at most maps, satellite images, etc. it appears the logical western end for this line would be at the junction with the Overland Route (Union Pacific Railroad) at Alazon (just west of Wells, Nevada). However, as counter-intuitive as it is, per the Federal Railroad Administration, (see [1]), the line proceeds west of this junction and it's western terminus is at the freight yard in Elko, Nevada. As such I have reverted the article to conform with the FRA's data. I agree it's counter-intuitive, however if the article is to say the line begins at Wells, this needs a source that is more qualified than the FRA data, which will be difficult to find.
