They leak ground water and the occasional brick and constantly need repair work. Two sections already collapsed well before I was riding MARC regularly through the B&P. It's 30 MPH for a reason. They already studied that solution to death -- look at the FEIS! Look at the older studies!
I have to agree, why not future-proof them and add freight clearance?
It's only a matter of time before there's another collapse that has to be cleared.
Iirc, NS isn't running any through freight trains WAS to BAL, it's all local.
