I don't think that a second track will ever get built there. I know that CDOT and Amtrak are waiting for the highway construction until a brand new underground Hartford Station consisting of two tracks can be built.Hartford is definitely getting rebuilt. Both the railroad and highway viaducts that wall off Downtown from Asylum Hill are at the end of their design lives. They're both going to be torn down, with the tracks and I-84 relocated to a covered trench and a new multi-track station built, most likely on Asylum Street. Union Station will be re-purposed. It's a massive project that's going to take years but it's happening.
