15 Service Expectations Looking Forward North Region Improved performance compared to 2014, particularly Fargo west to the Pacific Northwest ports. Gradual velocity improvement along key route between Twin Cities and Chicago as new capacity is installed throughout the year. Majority of new capacity in service by end of 3Q2015. Central Region Improved reliability and consistency compared to Additional capacity to address congestion and improve the throughput into/out of Denver. South Region Improved performance compared to Expansion projects targeting last remaining bottlenecks on Southern Transcon; only seven miles of single track will remain on the Southern Transcon going into 2016.
