Perhaps a more accurate framing is will the current rail initiatives last past end of term in September?

It would require a mountain of money to restore that Riley routing through the current Lafayette rail and road geometry.

Signal work/a signal suspension was in place.
Conjecture:
Maybe combined with an error by the freight crew (not tied up correctly/left switch open).
