Yes there is already a storage track at least a quarter mile long east from SPUD.
Yes from SPUD there is no headroom to the west ( CP ex MW and UP ex CNW and GNW riverfront rights - and the drawbridge)
The tracks and trackage rights near SPUD is amazingly complicated - especially east from SPUD
I've posted about the "sewer", the "swamp" what it is really is the "Giant Wye" with even now only 3 railroads -
The whole lowlands east of SPUD and west of Hoffman interlocking could "possibly" be prime riverfront real estate.
I am happy that work has started. But I know from the various "planning documents" that any progress down in the swamp will be a long slow process.
The freight lines, the possible passenger lines, the needed upgrades and who will pay -- ??
It will be a long slow process optimizing the rails east of SPUD
