Chris, I think that is a brilliant idea, but there is a problem when it comes to linking the SN to the D&S. I think the reason why they started the project at the powerhouse is because the grade south has seen better days. Part of it goes through a residential area, and I’m sure house owners don’t want a railroad going through their front yard. Cement Street is on the original SN grade which is a problem within itself. A little ways north of Cement Street, the grade is completely taken over by Highway 2.
I’d love to see the SN connect to Silverton, but roads and the possibilities of “Mc Mansions” hurt the project.
