Let’s be clear. The 25th St viaduct is a crucial segment for CSX’s freight railroad operations for the foreseeable future and they are not going to sell it at any price.
CSX would gladly give it up if they could. They hate maintaining it. If there was a way to approach Greenwich from the South exclusively using the old B&O rather than the PRR (rather than just from the North which is what currently exists), they’d be using that instead. This could be achieved by building a wye bridge across the Schuylkill at Bartram’s.
