I think you've answered your own question. It's great news for railfans, particularly those with a high "Oooo! A train!" factor. But for those with a more realistic view and question the wisdom of pouring tax money into this operation, with it's very limited potential for success given the line's past history and the lack of need for rail service in the area, it's merely a boondoggle - unless, of course, you happen to be one of the consultants who've benefitted financially.
The only real hope for sustainable traffic - hauling trash from transfer sites - apparently is now a dead issue and won't be happening. All the rest of the "potential" business that's supposedly going to ship by rail can be handled more efficiently and cheaply by truck, just as it is now.
