After this is all cleared up, a big question I have is that how will UP access the Phoenix market during bridge repairs?e or west to the BNSF mainline on the Arizona & California which is owned by Genesee & Wyoming.   

Most likely by having BNSF pick up or deliver cars in interchange with UP (ex-SP) at Phoenix.  UP would then switch its customers.

This will probably add two or more days to the transit times of Phoenix UP cars to and from the east, but it will continue to provide service to customers.  To and from the west, maybe a day or two extra simply because there is one train a day between Cadiz and Phoenix.  BNSF runs more trains east.
