The building of a high-speed line to replace a lower-speed line is another possibility; one example of this is the New Lower Inn Valley railway in Austria. A "railroad bypass" is generally synonymous with a railroad cutoff, although there are examples, such as with the Berlin Outer Ring Railway in Germany, where the bypass route was built more ...
In the meantime, the Utah and Pleasant Valley Railway (U&PV) had built a 3-foot (914mm) narrow gauge line from the coal mines in the Pleasant Valley to Provo on the Union Pacific Railroad-controlled Utah Southern Railroad.

The BNSF Railway has trackage rights on the entire line; the Utah Railway has trackage rights from Salt Lake City to Grand Junction, Colorado. However, parts of the line host significant passenger rail traffic. Amtrak's California Zephyr uses the entire length of the Central Corridor, as part of its San Francisco to Chicago route.
The line to Antonito was also converted to standard gauge, but a third rail, laid to three-foot gauge, remained to Alamosa until the end of regular narrow gauge operation in 1968. Coincident with the conversion to standard gauge, the D&RG realigned the route over La Veta Pass to lower the summit, straighten curves, and reduce grades.
