definitely poorly written. Try this link and maybe will clear up some confusion ?

Unfortunately it doesn’t fully clear things up, though it’s clearer that the construction will be a Franconia-Springfield bypass rather than a flyover between Franconia and Springfield. I don’t know what “Franconia-Springfield bypass” means in this context - a fourth track? A crossover and interlocking plant? A flyover? A new alignment entirely?

They don't mention passenger service on the Buckingham branch.
The link east point posted above discusses it a little, as a future “college corridor” passenger line. No mention of the
Cardinal though, despite it using the line from Charlottesville to Clifton Forge. Hmmmmmmmm, I wonder if One Mass is trying to shake down West Virginia for some Regional funding, and cancel the Card once and for all.
