Tongue River Railroad : ウィキペディア英語版 | Tongue River Railroad The Tongue River Railroad is a planned rail line in Southern Montana that would connect the region around Ashland, Montana with a BNSF Railway line to the north; over the project's lifespan, various routings have been studied. The project was first proposed in the 1980s, but has yet to move out of the development and planning stages. ==Early attempts 1981-1998== The first incarnation of the Tongue River Railroad began in 1981, when three companies, DS Cartage Corporation, Otter Creek Transportation Company, and Transportation Properties Inc., a Washington Energy Company subsidiary, formed a consortium to build a roughly railroad from Miles City, Montana, where it would connect with the Burlington Northern Railroad, to Ashland, where Billings, Montana-based coal company Montco planned to build a large surface coal mine. The plan was approved in 1986 by the Interstate Commerce Commission, but never built. As a result of lower coal prices in the late 1980s, plans for the railroad were tabled.〔 However, as the implementation of the Clean Air Act required coal burning power plants to use low-sulfur coal of the kind in southern Montana, a revived proposal for a route, estimated to cost about $117 million, emerged in the early 1990s, led by developer Mike Gustafson.〔 The Surface Transportation Board (STB) approved that route, from Miles City to Birney, Montana, in 1996.〔
