Yep, just like the red line before, it's an operational freight line. So you already know where the line is going to be/could be (RoW acquisition for any rerouting or spurs are probably precluded).
And just like the red line, even thought the line exists, there's some pretty significant costs with bringing it up to passenger standards, signaling standards, possibly additional quiet zones, adding stations, etc.
Even more if they decide to jump directly to full double-tracking, instead of doing the interim form they did for the red line.
