The triple track is planed to Athol because the UP and BNSF would share it. It is planed to include grade separation for all the road crossings from Spokane Valley to Rathdrum or Athol. One of the main goals is to move the UP off their current line which has so many roadway crossings and accidents. The triple track would be nice especial since the fuel pad at Hauser has a tendency to turn the area into a parking lot. As for why it ends in Athol, thats where UP's line crosses under the BNSF currently so it would be an easy point to have the UP get back on their own line. There isn't room for triple track (or even double track in places) between Athol and Sandpoint and UP's line is good from Athol.
