It should be noted that the 2.5 billion is for more than just the PRB extension: http://www.progressiverailroading.com/freightnews/article.asp?id=7796 The $2.5 billion is earmarked for - 1. The 262.3-mile extension into the PRB and an upgrade of 600 miles of other potential coal-hauling lines 2. An upgrade of 250 track miles on the IC&E 3. A rehab of 150 track miles on the DM&E’s western end between Wall, S.D., and Colony, WY* 4. An upgrade of 30 track miles on IC&E’s Marquette IA line Of those four separate projects, the one I find most intriging is actually the rehab of the Colony line, since this line represents the best shot of accessing Montana's PRB resources, as well as "reaching out" to a possible connection with the MRL. Remember, The Washington Group (which owns MRL) was the entity that sold the IC&E to Cedar River Holdings, and as such they may still have an interest in those lines as a way to free up MRL from being captive to BNSF's whims.
