Derail the Tongue River Railroad

In October, the Tongue River Railroad Company filed a new application for a permit to build this coal-hauling line through the Tongue River Valley.

The Surface Transportation Board has held “scoping” hearings in rural four southeastern Montana communities, where hundreds of people turned out to oppose the railroad.
