Ladies and Gentlemen, I wanted to take this opportunity to assure you that rail traffic through the community of Colstrip is nothing new. There is no objection to increased rail traffic, only the consideration of speed. As for the overall Tongue River Rail Road, the increased advantage of making use of the existing rail line heading north toward the river from Colstrip would decrease environmental impact in several respects. It seems there would be less trackage, less land disturbance and less agricultural and wildlife disturbance, and fewer public access issues by using a shorter route; the Colstrip alternative. Thank you, Rose Hanser Mayor of Colstrip
