One thing to consider. If the POTB traffic is going to the UP, then Astoria is strictly BNSF. Coos Bay is UP and not open to BNSF.
The biggest problem with Connect Oregon is political. Just look at all the government bodies that are looking for money and look at the big shortlines that have their hands out.
Remember, the railroads only get a portion of the money.
