That's of course a ridiculous price, but it was based on 1.5 miles of tunneling to bore deep under the cemetery (and several levels below the existing freight tunnel).
The new plan is to cut/cover two additional tracks next to the freight tunnel. It's only 500' of tunnel structure, but it means the cemetery needs to move one of their mausoleums that sits in the way. They have a much larger mausoleum that is newly built, so any "residents" that are relocated would only move a few hundred feet away and into a nicer/newer facility. It may even be possible to leave the existing mausoleum in place and dig underneath it, but that seems very risky from a construction standpoint.
