<p>Interesting article, if somewhat truncated from what one would suppose would be included in this particular subject matter......(insert fake coughing sound "DME!"):</p><p><a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2006/12/07/news/wyoming/25-railroad.tx">http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2006/12/07/news/wyoming/25-railroad.tx</a></p><p> </p><p>Missing Quote of Note: "DM&E's PRB line cannot be built too soon...."</p><p><span class="smiley">[banghead]</span></p><p>Oh well, can't complain about the author or the paper too much, given that the paper put some neat photos of PRB trains in action!</p><p>But really, how seriously can we take the claims by UP and BNSF that "we're putting in track about as fast as we can build it"? They are projected to spend only $100 million for Orin line improvements, while the DM&E line into the PRB itself has to be a couple of billion itself out of the whole $6 billion project total. Shouldn't UP and BNSF also be projecting billions for new PRB trackage if they really want to keep up with demand?</p>
