Ok, I'm moving the discussion.
They can move the crossing to Sapperton, for example, one of the alternatives for moving the Pautello. It's shallower here, with a sandbar (as shown on the image), and the existing rails can be maintained for servicing the existing industrial areas.
Something like this has to be done eventually, there is no way a HSR to Seattle and Portland, for example, is going to get by with a turntable bridge...
