Keep in mind that Montana is the Treasure" state. A few more trains through Bozeman (I live very close to the railroad) will not impact anything as there are adequate ways to keep from getting stuck at the track if you are an emergency vehicle. Plus, there isn't any dust as they coat the coal with a vegetable oil once it is loaded. As far as Asia purchasing our coal, that is just fine. It adds to our economy which helps our schools and other public programs. Global warming is an issue but new technology has helped reduce the emission of greenhouse gases from coal burning plants. Listen to the Environmental Groups but do not allow them to be the decision makers for the future of Montana. Thank you! Bill Jimmerson"
