But that request was not included in the final design, once the state won federal funding for the Point Defiance railroad bypass south of Tacoma, Wash., The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday. The plan was ditched because the turn in question was deemed too costly to remove, the outlet reported, citing documents and state officials.
