[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Murphy Siding Why doesn't DM&E build a line into the grain country of Montana? I hear talk of a railroad up there making so much money, that they're actively trying to turn some of the business away?[:-,] [/quote] For DM&E to make such a venture even close to being realistic from a business perspective, they would have to not only tap into the heart of the Montana wheat country, but they would have to extend that line all the way to a Pacific port. What you are suggesting is basically another transcon, aka rebuilding the Milwaukee PCE. I don't think the feds are going to loan or grant them any money for that, and no one can build a railroad these days without significant federal aid.
