Re: State of Washington wants input on future of rail service in Palouse region

As for what the State of Washington should do to enhance rail transportation on the Palouse, the big picture should focus on the W&I as the primary north/south "spine" running from BNSF in Spokane (Marshall) down to a point on the Snake River somewhere to connect with the Great Northwest Railroad, and at least one intermediate interchange point to connect with the WATCO/UP lines.

Yep, that would mean building at least two new rail extensions to get it all connected. The way I see it, if the State can pour billions into a hole in the ground along the Seattle waterfront, they can spend a measley billion to make a viable in-state rail network.
