One issue would be how to tie in the expansion route into Aurora's station
unless you are going to have trains bypass it completely all the time. If I am
not mistaken both tracks at Aurora are stub tracks and extending them back into
the main would present some issues. Otherwise you would have to bypass the
station and shove back into the station tracks.
