  7. Rail Corridor Study The objectives of this rail line corridor study are as follows: Identify the optimal rail line corridor within Yuma County that would connect to the Union Pacific Sunset Route main line on the north and potentially to the Ferromex rail line running between Hermosillo and Mexicali on the south The identified rail line corridor is intended to enable the local governments to preserve the needed right of way for the rail line to be constructed in the future when warranted Determine the location and facility requirements for the rail line crossing of the international border with tentative approval of the federal and local and foreign agencies

  8. Rail Corridor Study • Study Area • The study area is approximately bounded as follows: • On the west by the Arizona State Line • On the north by the Union Pacific Sunset Route main line • On the east by South Fortuna Road and its extension • On the south by the Ferromex rail line
