That "new east-west line in Central Montana" - is that the tunnels and grades just east of Lewistown MT? I know Milwaukee had a branch from Lewistown to Grassrange just a few miles south of present Highway 200. The suspected GN built grade runs closer to Highway 200 possibly as far as Winnett (I'm not sure if the remaining grade from Grassrange to Winnett is part of the Milwaukee branch or part of the GN grade). <br /> <br />Michael, I wonder what your BN friend has to say about the Flathead Tunnel, given his less than complementary exposure of the flaws inherent in the Cascade Tunnel. If GN/BN had 20 years to analyze the negative operational effects of diesels running through the Cascade Tunnel, why did they go ahead and okay the USACOE reroute via Flathead tunnel after Libby Dam was built, rather than exploring reroutes farther south with shorter tunnel(s)?
