There was a different thread here (that I couldn't find) stating the original plan was to open a new west portal into the reconfigured yard, and the yard was suppose to be 8 or 10 tracks - but this was cut back over the years and there would be no west portal. I'm assuming at the moment that this was just a rumor, and the west portal is indeed being built (since that's what it looks like is going on... I'm hoping someone knows for sure).
