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...
No kidding, I had absolutely no idea!

So the red line Washington station was demolished then as well? If the B37 Superstation tunnel isn't connected to the red or blue lines currently, shouldn't the station still be intact then? Or did the construction of B37 remove access to the station from the street or somehow make the station inaccessible?
