The intermodal looking thing is the common use rail yard noted in the plan. And then yes there will be individual spur tracks going to customers like a typical rail served industrial park.
To the questions of why provide a new rail served park when the existing rail served areas are slowly losing rail customers. Good point. haha That's why this whole thing has taken forever to get going. Focus Equities is driving it forward. That's where my other point about looking for large anchor tenants comes in. Otherwise, if someone wants rail service, they can probably find a place somewhere else in the City.
The sales pitch from CentrePort is that they are located next to highways, rail and air. So it provides some type of benefit to customers. Pretty thin sales pitch.
