You can really tell you are starting to understand a network when you look at it and go, Why Isn’t There a Link Here? And then you go, Was There Ever a Link Here? And you can think of some reasons why there might never have been, but they don’t seem super compelling because there were some pretty strong reasons _to_ have that link, but then there were later some even stronger reasons to NOT have that link.
Anyway. That’s the link, and the history on it.
For the future, however!

Also mentioned in the article is the (freight) Blue Ridge Connector. Here is more about that:
