Hmmm, wonder why Conrail/NS didn't re-bore the old tube instead of just single tracking the new one. They could have had two doublestack ready lines instead of a single track bottleneck.

The reason why i went there was out of curiosity because of what i read in a book. The HOT SPOTS book. You might know what i'm talking about. I think it's time to update it. Scratch it off the list.
