I think a road bridge over the tracks is likely, eventually. Victoria at the intersection is already about ten feet higher than the tracks¹, and could be raised a couple more there without hurting anything, as the current crest is at the geo-E/Kit-N end of the corner Shell. I suspect Breithaupt on the geo-W/Kit-S of Lancaster would be cut off for the bridge approach, the but geo-E/Kit direction is probably OK. The only loser is David's Fresh Cut Fries.
¹ You can get relative elevations out of Google Maps by asking for bicycling directions.
