They're not planning on building new rails. Matter of fact, they're busy doing minor patches on the existing freight rails to dual-purpose them as passenger rails.

So they are cheaping out, doing the least amount possible while still being able to say they "did something". This is not what people are usually talking about when they advocate for trains as a public transit solution, but unfortunately, it's what we tend to get.

There's not much else they even can do, without bulldozing thousands of buildings to build new tracks and stations. In an extremely sensitive spot no less, they'd have to do demolition and reconstruction in the only entrance and exit to the major multi billion dollar manufacturing facility.

TL;DR - Their money talks, our ideas walk (or even drown, they don't care).
