Henry,

I suspect it had more to do with management not wanting the (6) 
passenger trains, involved with Bison Yard operation in any way.  Then a 
new track connection has to be built ($285,000) to avoid the yard, which 
adds to the cost of continuing to use the old terminal.  You are right, 
another reason to move out of Main Street; Babcock Street is a much 
cheaper alternative.
