@OctaviusIII:
No. I did not include it in the post, because I thought describing operations would take away from the substance of the post.

However, according to an Amtrak official, once this program has been completed, the platforms will be open. According to Amtrak, the reason they currently restrict access to the platforms is because they're narrow, have access only at one end, and are difficult places for riders to hear/see announcements about track changes and so on.

Amtrak realizes that it's a problem, but they have to fix other problems before they'll let people right onto the platforms.

With the new design, if a track assignment changes, it will be easy for patrons to hear the announcement, and they'll also have 3 places where they can cross to different tracks, rather than by going all the way back to Concourse A, as is the case today.
