The Sheldon to Rapid City line would provide an alternate route for PRB coal from the Dm&E extention to Chicago and the Mississippi River. You would have to rebuild the Sheldon to Canton SD row and rails. then use tracage rights on BNSF to Mitchel SD. Then buy the Dakota Southern from Mitchel, west to Kadoka. Then rebuild the track west to the DM&Es new line southwest to Wyoming. <br /> <br />The coal traffic would pay for and extention to Rapid City, Then, you build From Colony northwest into Montana to the MRL. Use trackage rights on MRL,BNSF to set up a Pacific Northwest-Chicago intomodal lane that Bypasses all major cities. Four Billion dollars later you would have a great railroad line. <br /> <br />I'm 34yrs old and remember Cabooses on the ends of trains. I grew up along the MILW in northewst Iowa, on the Mason city to Sheldon line. <br /> <br />Go IC&E/DM&E.
