Musings -- This obviously for the new Chargers. Also whatever is pulling the Builder and Starlight. Any info yet on interior configuration ? Could it be that other agencies might send Chargers there ? Just a wild guess but if room for 2 tracks could hold 4 locos at a time.

"Existing track will be reconfigured to allow access to the new facility..." .. the article goes on with a little more info on the facility.
