Stampede Tunnel Expansion Mothballed?

In this morning's electronic PI:

"Stakeholders have also backpedaled from expanding BNSF's tunnel at Stampede Pass enough to allow freight trains stacked two containers high to pass through it. Retired Port of Seattle Chief Executive Mic Dinsmore has said the estimated $70 million to $120 million project was a "major element" of the original deal he and Sims proposed in 2006. Gov. Chris Gregoire put $25 million in the 2007 budget for it.

"However, port officials at last week's joint commission meeting said that BNSF has mothballed the project. The company could not be reached for comment late Tuesday night."

Anyone have any confirmation of this? I thought BNSF was just about ready to go out to bid on this project.
