You could argue that. But as someone who used to live there, a bridge made a lot more sense when there were 20+ trains a day, lots of gridlocked trains trying to get in and out of the yard, and switching crews constantly shuffling cars around (with switching crews being 10-20 cars out of sight of the crossings, and making regular reversing moves back and forth across the crossing in question). I don't see 5-8 trains (plus no switching crews) as that big of a deal for this crossing, especially given that there are many other grade crossings in the area.
Otherwise, I agree--time will tell as the area become more accessible in the coming weeks, but I'm doubtful. It's currently the only line in CSX's system marked as "long-term outage."
