NYRI Underground Typical Section

This typical section is misleading (not typical) because it shows a completely flat area on either side of the railroad. In reality, the railroad is often banked w/ steep slopes on one or both sides. I've added the red line to help illustrate the point. If the underground cable is to be placed at the bottom of the slope will it still be located within the existing right-of-way?

Also, the undeground cables will not be located beneath the railroad bed, so it needs to be located on one side or the other. Which side will it be?

What is the plan when the railroad is on a bridge structure? Go around the existing abutments?
The answers to these basic questions do not appear to be in the license application.
