Ahh... I knew it! Thanks 'Jono'. I've been doing some googling but all I could find out about was the North Street Station... but I walk along Provo Wallis a lot (on my way to work) and always suspected that those walls were once part of a railway "cut"... and it's not hard to imagine that parking lot as a big marshall yard.

Regardless though... I think the current railway cut makes more sense since you could have stops on Quinpool and Robie. Just not sure how you'd get the trains deeper into downtown without tunneling.
