The DM&E line then will split both north and south, parallel to but a short distance away from the northern half of the Orin line: <br /> <br />http://www.dmerail.com/PRB/Projectoverview%20Map.htm <br /> <br />Well, would you look at that! DM&E is engaging in dispersed redundancy! <br /> <br />The smartest thing BNSF could ever do at this point would be to join in ($$$) with DM&E on the section running from the Orin line to Edgemont, as well as the north and south segments. That is, if BNSF's management is comprised of a few forward thinkers, rather than being made up entirely of "rail professionals".[:D]
