Comment EI-19503
Received or sent (printed as 1/7/2013)
The proposed Tongue River Railroad is a bad idea for Montana, the Nation, and the World. The mining of Otter Creek coal and the export of that coal to Asia will adversely affect the rural economy and the outdoor heritage of Montana and undermine the efforts to curb the ever more extreme climate of this planet. The added train traffic to the city where I live will create ever more frequent delays where there are already to few railroad bypasses. The cost benefit ratio of this proposed project for Montanans does not add up.
