Traffic did not have to be held up as the train seen in the middle photos speed underneath the newly opened US 87 railroad overpass in Dumas.  Officials say the overpass will help clear up traffic congestion in Dumas and give emergency workers total access to the area west of the BNSF tracks.  This is also the effect of the Ports to Plains Trade Corridor. More and more trucks are shifting from the I35 corridor to the Ports to Plains Corridor due to congestion issues. The overpass also opened sooner than expected but work is still under way with two lanes providing access.
