All it takes is MONEY - Got Any ???
The Siskiyou Line tunnels were expen$ive to dig the 1st time, when labor was cheap. This time around, such a project may not even clear the Permitting Process, after years of time & money spent.
If the steel structure of Hotlum Bridge is undamaged ( a legacy of E.H. Harriman's " Spend it in a Week " philosophy ), new bridge ties ( longer & thicker than normal ) and rail could likely be laid down in a few weeks.
