Yes, I should amend this as a Billings-Bozeman-Helena-Great Falls-Shelby run, although I was wondering how Amtrak would be able to service Missoula too. There may not be the ridership in Missoula that would support an x-tra, but didn't BNSF close down the Trackage between Helena and Great Falls? Last time I remember going up that route [when it was still the BN] it was quite curvy, lotsa' low clearance areas, and a couple of low clearance tunnels, it seems it would be QUITE A JOB to operate it at a faster speed, even if the trackage could be straightened more.Still it's something to try for, possibly get a Historical Group to build a Station along the tracks in Great Falls, or aid in renovation of the Milwaukee Road Station for passenger purposes! Great Falls to Shelby could easily run at speed and Amtrak could make up for lost time coming up from Helena!
