Every inch of that rail yard will be a superfund site. Can you imagine all the stuff that's been spilled over the last 150 odd years? Cleaning all that up is going to be a way bigger nightmare than the city thinks.
No doubt cleaning up a rail yard is a huge and expensive undertaking. However, it has been done successfully in Winnipeg before, albeit on a smaller scale. The Forks used to be a rail yard before being redeveloped into what it is now.
