I believe the freight tracks may be owned by CSX via an easement on the Amtrak ROW. I do find it interesting that they're proposing more mingling of freight and passenger traffic. It looks like the platforms are being built in the space currently used by track 2, so everything is shifted eastward onto the freight railbed.Historically I don't think there has ever been an interlocking permitting crossovers between the freight and passenger tracks south of the bridge - everything gets sorted out into two parallel railroads as part of the bridge approach. Not sure why one couldn't be done now other than the possible legal issue if CSX is the owner of the tracks. |
