Pretty sure the tunnel issues discussed above were on the Siskiyou line - CORP. BNSF Gateway Sub unlikely to have similar issues though, yes, there are a couple of tunnels. Main question for Amtrak would be suitable operating agreements and whether the whole line (KFalls-Marysville) has PTC. Frankly unlikely that Amtrak would do that; it would not fit with past practice. Similar situation was when UP had to replace a bridge in the upper Sacramento River canyon, and Amtrak simply shut down the Starlight for the month or so it took.
