Railroad Gives Up Right-of-Way for Metro Lines

Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway signed an agreement today to abandon its rights to use the corridor between (roughly) the future Arcadia and Irwindale Stations along the planned Gold Line Extension from Pasadena to Azusa. That is according to the Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Construction Authority.

Basically, if I understand this, it means Metro trains won't have to share with freight trains.
