Rail interests shift as lines face washout and consolidations
The Oregon Short Line northbound passenger train from the city was delayed by a washout near Pocatello and will arrive in Butte late. Northern Pacific may restore double daily service if business justifies it, but current demand favors existing service.

Union Pacific nears Wyoming Southern acquisition with new headquarters in New York. Tickets and Yellowstone Park excursions offered at 30 Silver Bow block.
