Strides made to restore passenger rail service to southern Montana
In Butte on Wednesday, federal, state, tribal and local officials convened to work toward restoring passenger rail on the Northern Hiawatha Line in southern Montana.
The Big Sky Passenger Rail Authority hosted their annual conference at the Finlen Hotel, presenting hopeful ambitions to bring back passenger trains on the tracks that run in Montana from east of Glendive to north Idaho, with stops including in Missoula, Butte, Bozeman and Billings.
It could take many years before dreams become reality, which was the focus of much of the conference, with discussions centering on improving local train stations and ensuring passenger and freight trains can coexist on the rails.
