Thank you, Espee99. Your argument is the EXACT ONE the BNSF used when residents of Auburn & Covington, WA tried to stop the RR from reopening the Stampede Pass line to through traffic in 1995. In this case, the line was still used for occasional coal & ballast runs from loadouts in the cascade foothills. The City of Auburn spent a lot of taxpayer money to fight the reopening in local & state courts, only to be told " It's a FEDERAL issue. "
