[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The NPS would not sign off on such a project. The impact on wildlife and the river would be contrary to its mission.[/quote] Well Potomac Yards was a freight rail yard, one of the largest in the country. But it ran via overhead electrical wires. So the air was clean since the locomotives were electric. [/quote] Nevermind that it was a SuperFund site because of all of the industrial toxins. [/quote] The freight rail yard was the hub for the tropicana orange juice trains, and not chemical freight. There was no fuel since the trains ran on overhead wires. Any cleanup was minimal and just took a few months at most, maybe less. The Potomac Yards just sat vacant for a time until the Hoyt Cinema and Target opened up. [/quote] Which immediately flooded after deafening every customer with airplane noise.[/quote]
