There is no reason for there to be a rail line between the two. There is little if any bulk commodity movement between the two. Which is the only viable reason to discuss new rail services to begin with. <br /> <br />It's fine if someone is willing to pay for the doodlebugs to run over existing underutilized trackage. Preferably those who would feign to use such service. This is not a project worthy of funding from the State of Montana, let alone the nation's taxpayers. If it happens at all then let the folks in Ravalli and Missoula counties pay for it. <br /> <br />And no, they don't need it, since US Highway 93 is a fine thouroughfare. The only glitch for users of US Highway 93 is that Missoula is a bit congested. All they need is a nice north-south freeway through Missoula and all will be fine.
