The biggest problem with this kind of project is the NIMBY factor. Because of this mindset, everyone tries to push the railyard as far away from any residences as possible and further and further into the ecological buffer zone. You guys are probable right when you question the engineering but the area they are going to use is NOT marshland. It was filled a century ago and must be fortified with concrete due to the amount of peat in the substrate
