Several defect detectors along this stretch are noted by the operator (mileposts 1025.9 through 1051.8).
Benson is an Amtrak stop for the Sunset Limited (#1/#2) between Los Angeles and New Orleans; Union Pacific freight and the short-line San Pedro Railroad both interchange traffic through this crossing.
