It sounds like the northern plains needs some real rail competition and here's my remedy. <br /> <br />1. Force BNSF to turn over the former MILW Road line from Billings to the Twin Cities over to MRL who's parent company has a line from St. Paul down the Mississippi to Savannah and east to Chicago. <br /> <br />2. Help MRL re-build the former SP&S line from Spokanne to Tri Cities which many people who know the route will tell you was better engineered than the former NP. <br /> <br />3. Give MRL trackage rights through Yakima valley to Ellensburg and help them re-build the former MILW Snoqualmie Pass Route. <br /> <br />I think a rail network like this extending from Puget Sound across the northern plains to Chicago could give BNSF a real run for its money.
