Honestly, I'd be happy with them just reopening the Washington red line station and transfer tunnel to the blue line at this point.
It doesn't exist. It was completely removed to build B37's lower levels.

There's really not that much potential for the superstation shell to be used for rail. Maybe there's something creative you could do with it like an Amsterdam-style underground bike garage, but the only thing it's good for on the transit front is Daley's flawed Airport Express plan. I guess you could build a non-revenue track between Red and Blue Lines so it has some kind of transit purpose, if that gets the Feds to back off...
