What if there was a connection with the track that runs along the haul road and the south bay loop track, you could bring a train from the waterfront, loop it around and send it north, it crosses the bridge that spans the fort, sending it west towards Beacon Park. I guess it is just hypothetical, if there was some kind of profit motive in bringing back heavy rail traffic to the waterfront, it would have been done by now. The space for an expansive ship-rail facility just isn't there. The best bet, in my opinion would be the Conley container terminal. When the haul road track comes out under the W 2nd st. bridge, use a slight curve and put the track on W 1st st. to E 1st. st, its pretty much a straight shot to the container terminal
