Posted: 7:47 AM- PLEASANT VIEW - The Wasatch Front commuter rail line debuting this month will open without its northernmost terminal in Pleasant View, a town just north of Ogden.

Transit officials say Union Pacific Railroad crews are too busy to upgrade tracks between Ogden and Pleasant View.

Pleasant View will be left off FrontRunner's itinerary until later this year.

Union Pacific says it has 200 rail workers working around the clock near Oakridge, Ore., trying to dig out 3,000 feet of tracks buried by a January landslide.

FrontRunner's grand opening is set for April 26.
