Since the hotel versus rail discourse is happening again, I’m going to ask a stupid question that always pops into my head when this comes up.
I know single-tracking here would cause a major choke-point, but does it actually kill the SEHSR project? Trains are going to be moving slowly at this point anyway since they’ll be approaching/leaving a station, so it’s not like the tracks need to be up to “high speed” standards. So… does the Moxy really kill this project?
Also, for funsies, I’m gonna email Jason Orthner and see if he’ll tell me what’s going on with this property. It’s a long shot, but screw it, why not.
