The Tongue River Railroad for hauling coal from southeast Montana to Miles City is one part of a travesty. It's appalling that we rape and pillage our resources, sell them to China to be burned and we receive the environmental fallout of both the mining and transporting here and the coal burning there. The construction permit for this railroad needs to include a study of: The impacts of increased train traffic on communities like Bozeman that are affected by the railroad. The impact of increased train traffic on wildlife migrations. The impacts of burning the coal in China. Thank you!
