However, it won't be a preservation of any current yard tracks because the big highway project will temporarily obliterate any remaining non-mainline tracks @ BP for necessary staging space. Any rail for that passenger yard-to-be would will ultimately be laid fresh on reshaped clean space.With no time frame for Harvahhhd's redevelopment, West Station, and the $Pike interchange, and with South Station and yards "over capacity" it would be nice if they could use some existing track for an interim midday layover facility.
