The DME proposed the PRB project in 98 (?) I think, and it hasn't even turned over any soil yet because of all these d****** tree-lovin hippies. If anything, they should embrace the railroad because it reduces the amount of traffic on freeways and diesel fuel emissions to the atmosphere. That may be thinking a bit big for them though. I think it is safe to say that the battle the DME would face trying to build a new PCE would be a billion times worse than the 8 year court battle they are just finishing up. And that was with 90 percent of the affected communities supporting it. <br />[/quote] <br /> What is holding up DM&E is money. <br />[/quote] <br />There trying to get Federal Dollars to do this project I'm surprise the Government haesn't sprung up considering problems UP/BNSF are having.
