Hundreds show support for new rail route
HELENA - An effort to restore rail passenger service through southern Montana brought people from around the state to a Helena meeting of the Montana Association of Railroad Passengers. More than 50 people shoehorned into the conference room of the Chamber of Commerce Building for Friday's meeting. "It just shows you that people in Montana and across the nation need another choice, and that there should be some changes to our transportation system," said Michael Ackley of Missoula, vice president of the association.
