am quite sad to see it dropped (though I'm sure there's some better/cheaper way of replicating that infra).
Not really. You said correctly above. Grade separated terminals are almost mandatory at this point, particularly if you're planning to raise speeds. AS it is, you're at the fringes of 135mph territory and everything must come to a stop if a train needs to head east from County Yard.
Granted, there are plans to raise the diverging speeds through County, but you're still talking about stopping all traffic.
Eliminating JErsey Ave as a terminal is the only other solution because even if you decided to run east on 4, the train would still have to cross over somewhere.
