The RJ interchange isn't going anywhere - if anything it will become larger.

Is there room to expand it? Did you look at the other thread?
Many guys that work there say it's a lousy place to do an interchange.

So who is to say history won't repeat itself?Because there is no reason for history to repeat itself. A ton of VTR interchange is with CSX and some is already going out the Hoosick Junction interchange - and there are rumors than eventually all VRS to CSX interchange will go that route instead of over the GMRC to Bellows Falls to the NECR.
