QUOTE: Originally posted by CSSHEGEWISCH The agreement apparently allowed BNSF to eventually purchase the lines in question. If the state of South Dakota is having politically based second thoughts more than 20 years after the original agreement, why would anyone want to enter into another agreement with the state which could be repudiated later when it suited the state? Fortunately, the open access issue will probably not be addressed since it involves interstate commerce, over which state courts have no jurisdiction.
