PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

The overall vision of this project is to build The Great American Rail-Trail, a coast-to-coast, dedicated pathway along unused rail corridors celebrating America’s historical, natural and cultural richness.

GREAT AMERICAN RAIL-TRAIL

The Great American Rail-Trail is an important component of Rails-to-Trails Conservancy’s vision of a national transportation network of rail-trails, canal towpaths, or dedicated greenways to commute to work or school, shop, or even bike or walk across the country. The trail will be a coast-to-coast, off- road, non-motorized trail accessible to bicyclists, hikers, wheelchair users, equestrians, in-line skaters and others. Extending from Washington, D.C., to Seattle, it will travel through Maryland, Pennsylva- nia, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, and Washington. Currently, 33 percent of the proposed coast-to-coast route is open for use and another 37 percent is in the project stage. The largest gaps exist in Montana and Iowa. This report examines the Montana segment for trail development opportunities to link into the national network.

THE VALUE OF TRAILS

Trails and greenways positively impact individuals and improve communities by providing recreation and transportation opportunities, and encouraging economic and community development. Trails and greenways bring many benefits to the community they traverse.

Recreation Opportunities. Most trail corridors in Florida are flat or have gentle grades, making them perfect for a variety of users, including walkers, inline skaters, bicyclists and people with disabilities. Trails are multimodal and versatile passageways.

Increased Property Values. Studies have shown that properties on land near or adjacent to trails and greenways often increase in value. People are willing to pay more to have a multi-use trail in their neighborhood. Trails have become an important amenity that many look for when choosing where to live.

Healthy Living. The U.S. Surgeon General estimates that 60 percent of American adults are not regularly active and 25 percent are not active at all. Additionally, childhood obesity is on the rise and Type II diabetes is increasingly affecting both adults and children. In many communities across the country, people do not have access to trails, parks or other recreation areas close to their homes. Trails and greenways provide safe, inexpensive avenues for regular exercise.

Environmental and Open Space Protection. Trails and greenways help improve air and water quality. Communities with trails provide enjoyable and safe options for clean transportation, which reduces air pollution. By protecting land along canals and streams, greenways prevent soil erosion and filter pollution caused by agricultural and road runoff.

Connecting People and Communities. Trails serve as utilitarian transportation corridors linking neighborhoods, workplaces and additional community destinations such as schools, libraries and shopping centers. They connect congested urban areas with parks and open spaces. By bringing people together on greenways for their daily activities, trails unite people and their natural surroundings.

2 Regional Systems. As more and more trails are completed, we are beginning to see the emergence of regional systems of interconnected trails and other alternative transportation corridors such as onstreet bike lanes. Trails serve as the backbone for these systems, increasing the value of the whole by connecting the parts. Regional trail systems cross political, social and economic barriers, allowing trail users to form new connections with neighboring communities. These ribbons of green link schools, parks, commercial areas, neighborhoods and waterfronts, allowing trail users to traverse the region solely and safely on trails. Trail networks form a more cohesive transportation system, allowing people to travel to other communities and to combine trail use with other forms of transit. Regional trail systems draw more riders from outside the community, contributing to the economic growth of the region. Bringing trails together to form networks dramatically increases the positive effects that trails bring to their communities.

MONTANA HISTORY

Montana is a land of broad dimensions, generally low rainfall, and two sharply contrasting regions, the west forested and mountainous, the east a high, wide, barren prairie. Its 147,138 square miles make it as large as New England, with New York and half of Pennsylvania thrown in. It houses a low population density of 5.66 per square mile. Glacier Park, in the northwest corner of the state contains “Triple Divide Peak,” a high, water-origin peak, from which water flows into three drainage systems: the Saskatchewan, which flows into the Arctic Ocean; the Columbia, which flows into the Pacific; and the Missouri, which flows into the Atlantic. A series of mountain ranges rise above the western region, running in a forty-five degree, north-south diagonal across the western third of the state. The young- est and most striking of these is the Rocky Mountain chain.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, Native Americans such as the Salish (Flatheads) lived in the western valley region of Montana, hunting in an area encompassing the Columbia Plateau and the Three Forks area. The Kootenai tribe dominated northwestern Montana as well as the Idaho Panhandle and part of southeastern British Columbia. To the east of the Rocky Mountains lived the Blackfeet nation as well as the Shoshoni tribe, the Atsinas (Gros Ventres) and the Assiniboines. And in the south the Yellowstone Valley was home to the Crow or Apsaalooke people and members of the Cheyenne community who lived in the southeast.

In 1804–1806, the Lewis and Clark Expedition was the first group of white travelers to cross Mon- tana. Following the trail of Lewis and Clark, fur traders and trappers traveled to Montana, introducing a market economy. Despite exploiting the region’s land, game and natural resources, fur traders also developed maps and detailed descriptions of the territory.

Massive migration to Montana began in the 1860s with the advent of the gold rush, opening the gates for gold seekers from all over the west and from major eastern settlements to flock to Montana. In 1864, largely due to the draw of the gold rush, Montana became a territory, and cattle ranchers moved into the western valleys of Montana capitalizing on the free public-domain land.

With the success of mining and cattle ranching, transcontinental railroad lines were established in the Montana territory during the 1880s. Beginning in 1864 Congress allowed for construction to begin on the Northern Pacific transcontinental railroad, however, the project was suspended as Northern Pacific became bankrupt. Around this same time, the Utah and Northern Railroad—later bought out by Union Pacific—began building a railroad that would link the Union Pacific transcontinental line with the pros- perous mining towns of Helena and Butte in southwestern Montana. By 1881 this construction was complete.

3 Soon after, construction resumed on the Northern Pacific transcontinental line as Northern Pacific recovered from financial troubles. Finished in September 1883, the Northern Pacific line linked Wash- ington and Idaho with Montana’s Billing, Livingston and Helena. Another major railroad construction, beginning in mid-1880s and completed in 1893, was the establishment of the Great Northern line that ran from St. Paul through Butte and Helena all the way to Puget Sound. Connecting the territory with the rest of the nation, the creation of the railroads helped Montana become a state in 1889 and played a significant role in its economic development. Carrying freight across the country, Montana’s lumber, mining and ranching industries flourished and, soon, people from across the nation moved to Montana to establish a new, profitable career.

Another important transcontinental railway that eventually crossed through Montana was the Chi- cago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad—otherwise known as the Milwaukee Road. Developed by Bryan Kilbourn, a prominent businessman in Milwaukee, the Milwaukee and Waukesha Railroad began operating between Milwaukee and Waukesha in 1850. By 1857 this railroad reached as far as Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. The line’s name changed to the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Rail- road in 1874, and the corridor began moving further and further into the Midwest, eventually expanding to reach Iowa, South Dakota, Kansas and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Continuing the push westward, the railroad built from South Dakota through Montana to Seattle/Tacoma between 1906- 1909. Due to bankruptcy, the railroad again reorganized in 1928, becoming the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific railroad. Finally in 1977, after years of success, the railroad ridded itself of two-thirds of its trackage and, in 1985, was acquired by Soo Line Corporation and eventually merged with the Soo Line in 1986.

Having more than 656 miles of electrified track, the Milwaukee Road was ground-breaking in terms of long distance electrification. In addition, this line supported both freight and passenger trains, including high-speed intercity trains, such as the steam powered Hiawatha.

4 5 TECHNICAL METHODOLOGY

The process of determining the feasibility of trail conversion of the Montana segment of the Milwaukee Road Corridor requires a series of steps that build on each other and ultimately provides a holistic view of the current state of the corridor, in terms of condition and ownership, and what next steps are needed to convert all or part of the corridor into a multi-purpose trail. These steps include the following and are expanded upon in the following sections:

Inventory —The first step is a thorough inventory of the corridor, including a visual inspection along its entire length. The inventory also includes collecting land ownership records, current trail development plans from the various jurisdictions through which the corridor runs, and identifying adjacent land uses.

Initial Public Outreach — Contact early in the study process with communities that exist along the study corridor can provide valuable information about existing efforts and sentiment toward a trail project. Some communities may already have the trail plan that includes conversion of the study corridor while others may not want to have anything to do with a trail project. Thus, meetings with communities leaders early in the study process can provide valuable information that merely looking at the corridor as well as any official records may fail to convey.

Documentation — Much information is gathered during the inventory process and it is available in the appendix. The supporting information includes such items as attendees at the public outreach meetings, inventory of existing trail and trail projects in the state, with special emphasis on those that would connect to the study project, discussion on topics of special importance such as an analysis of state railroad law, the concept of rails-with-trails (trails built along active rail lines), and potential funding sources.

Assessment — The assessment phase evaluates the pieces collected during the inventory phase and attempts to determine the general feasibility of converting the abandoned corridor into a multi-purpose trail. The assessment makes use of information and community sentiment gathered in the initial public outreach, and places the project within the context overall state trail efforts as well as the sentiment within each given community. Finally, after reviewing landownership records and corridor conditions, an assessment is provided as to the feasibility and value of creating a trail along the study route. The assessment can also include the proposition of alternative routes should a portion of the corridor alignment prove problematic.

GIS Maps — the assessment is supported by a series of maps made specifically for the study of this corridor. The maps help to convey corridor conditions at various points through geo-referenced photo- graphs. The maps also illuminate the location of existing trails and trail projects, and can also convey land use along the corridor, the size of various population centers through which the corridor runs, and the alignment of the corridor as well as any alternative routes.

6 INVENTORY — CORRIDOR IDENTIFICATION AND RESEARCH

PROCEEDINGS BEFORE THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION (ICC)

Corridor segments are indicated on the next two pages. The first grouping, indicated by the letters A–G, consists of corridor segments that make up the primary east-west route (A-F), as well as an additional lengthy corridor connecting the primary route to Lewiston and Great Falls (G). The second grouping is made up of secondary smaller segments, numbered 1-11. While the corridors designated by letters were all (with the exception of corridor segment A) part of a single abandonment proceeding, the numbered corridors were all the subject of separate individual abandonment filings. The single abandonment proceeding that dealt with corridors A-G (as well as numbered corridors 2, 5, 7 and 9) will be hereafter referred to as the “Miles City West” abandonment.

PRIMARY ROUTE

From Miles City, Montana, west to Seattle, the main line of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad (Milwaukee Road) system was authorized for abandonment by the Interstate Com- merce Commission in a single decision issued on January 30, 1980. This abandonment involved more than 500 miles of the main line in Montana alone, and more than 920 railroad miles in Montana when accounting for spurs and other connecting trackage. For the purposes of this report, the major Milwaukee Road corridors in Montana are broken down in Table 1, roughly corresponding to the segment breakdown in the abandonment filing. Of these segments, Corridor Segment A is the only one that was not a part of the Miles City West abandonment.

SPURS/CONNECTORS

Table 2 lists all spurs and connecting segments for which there have been filings before the ICC/Sur- face Transportation Board (STB) separate from the Miles City West abandonment. Several of these were abandoned (segments 1, 3, 4, and 10) or sold off to other railroads (segments 8 and 11) prior to the Miles City West filing. A few (segments 2, 5, and 7) were submitted for abandonment separately but ended up being included in the Miles City West filing and were thus withdrawn when that abandonment was approved. Information on segments that have been the focus of trail development activity will be included in Section III.

LAND USE PATTERNS/GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION/HISTORICAL RESOURCES

This section presents a summary description of each corridor segment, as provided in the Miles City West abandonment application.

CORRIDOR SEGMENT B: MILES CITY, MONT. TO HARLOWTON, MONT.

The 215.5-mile line between Miles City and Harlowton lies in a flat, open, sparsely populated area used predominantly for dryland farming or grazing. Wooded areas are limited to clusters of trees along creeks or rivers. Residences are located almost exclusively in small rural communities while larger communities such as Miles City support some industry.

Agricultural activities in this region are partially dependent upon irrigation. More than two-thirds of the line lies within one mile of a continuous waterway: Yellowstone River traverses the line for approximately 40 miles between Miles City and Hysham; and Musselshell River parallels the line to the south for approximately 150 miles from Melstone to Harlowton. With no streams in the vicinity, the area between Hysham and Melstone is less fertile for lack of irrigation and Melstone nearly uninhab- ited. In addition to paralleling waterways, the line follows U.S. Route 123 for nearly 120 miles from Forsyth to Harlowton.

CORRIDOR SEGMENT C: HARLOWTON, MONT. TO THREE FORKS, MONT. (INCLUDING RINGLING TO DORSEY)

The main line between Harlowton and Three Forks, Montana and the branch line from Ringling to Dorsey, Montana lie in a sparsely populated region of the Northern Great Plains. Most of the lines follow grass covered or cultivated valleys of the Musselshell River, Sixteen Mile Creek and the Missouri River. There are very few trees along the right of way; however near Maudlow, the line passes through Gallantin National Forest as it enters the eastern foothills of the Rocky Mountains.

10 CORRIDOR SEGMENT D: THREE FORKS TO DEER LODGE

Land surrounding the line between Three Forks and Deer Lodge, Montana ranges from open prairie to forested mountains. The line crosses the Continental Divide near Butte and parallels several rivers including Jefferson River and Clark Fork River. Butte is the only major residential, commercial and industrial center in the area. Other settlements along the line are basically rural in nature and of low density. Almost the entire line closely parallels a Burlington Northern rail line. Approximately six miles of the line parallels or transects Lewis and Clark Cavern State Park and more than seven miles lies within Deer Lodge National Forest.

CORRIDOR SEGMENT E: DEER LODGE TO ALBERTON (INCLUDING BONNER JUNCTION TO BONNER)

The entire length of this line parallels within approximately one mile of the Clark Fork River. From milepost 1562 to around 1600, terrain is relatively flat and land use is predominately agricultural; residences and commercial activities are sparse. West of milepost 1600 for nearly 40 miles the railroad traverses Lolo National Forest. Land in this area becomes more hilly and forested. From milepost 1638 to 1644 the line is surrounded by commercial, residential and industrial lands of the Missoula Metropolitan area. The University of Montana campus is south of milepost 1640. From milepost 1644 to 1663 agricultural land uses predominate with terrain relatively flat and unwooded. The final 10 miles of this segment are located within the forested Lolo National Forest. Because the line is located within the Clark Fork River flood plain, it is surrounded by many areas of marsh or wetland.

The three-mile branchline from Bonner Junction to Bonner traverses land designated as open space and parks.

CORRIDOR SEGMENT F: ALBERTON, MONT. TO ST. MARIES, IDAHO

Land surrounding the line between Alberton, Mont. and St. Maries, Idaho is sparsely populated, with a limited amount of commercial and industrial uses. The entire line lies in creek or river valleys bordered on both sides by forested mountains. These valleys are formed by the following waters which closely parallel the line: Clark Fork River, milepost 1672 to 1716; St. Regis River, milepost 1717 to 1744; Rainy Creek and Loop Creek, milepost 1744 to 1763; and St. Joe River, milepost 1763 through St. Maries. Most of the surrounding forest land is undeveloped preservation areas. The line transects Lolo National Forest in Montana and St. Joe National Forest in Idaho. The river valleys provide open areas for agriculture between mileposts 1684 and 1730 and between milepost 1780 and 1787.

In addition to the Milwaukee Road line, the creek and river valleys also provide corridors for Interstate 90 (U.S. Route 10), local roads, portions of a Burlington Northern line and occasional transmission lines and pipelines. The 19 communities along this line are low-density commercial and residential developments.

CORRIDOR SEGMENT G: HARLOWTON TO FAIRFIELD (INCLUDING LEWISTOWN TO HEATH)

The Harlowton to Fairfield line lies in the Great Northern Plains region of central Montana. Land is predominantly open dryland farming and prairie grassland. Residences are sparse outside of Great Falls and Harlowton.

11 GEOGRAPHIC DESCRIPTIONS — GREAT PLAINS AND NORTHERN ROCKY MOUNTAINS

In addition to these segment-by-segment descriptions, the abandonment application also included two general geographic descriptions of the areas through which these corridors pass:

GREAT PLAINS (CORRIDOR SEGMENTS B AND G)

Within the Great Plains of eastern Montana are the line segments Miles City to Harlowton, Harlowton to Fairfield, Fairfield to Agawam and Winifred Junction to Winifred. Generally, this region is treeless with a gently rolling terrain broken by buttes, tree-bordered streams and small isolated mountain ranges. This region is within the temperate grassland biome. The short grassland of the Columbia Plateau extends west to the foothills of the northern Rocky Mountains. The natural environment of this plains- grassland region is dominated by a mixture of buffalo grass , western wheat grass, and blue grass.

Details of this area’s numerous plant communities differ because these communities are strongly affected by their proximity to the mountains and shorelines. Outside of the right-of-way the degree of each area’s departure from nature communities depends on the type and intensity of human uses. Outside the right-of-way, a complete replacement of natural areas, including remnant prairie communities can be expected in population centers and agricultural zones.

Portions of the grasslands used for grazing have been altered somewhat though not as severely as cultivated or urbanized areas.

A large percentage of grassland animals live underground or in groves. Others nest, den or feed in the tree-dominated riparian ecosystems surrounding the many water courses of the area. The plain’s riparian ecosystems are easily recognized in the short grassland areas by their borders of large cotton- woods, willows and shrubs. Riparian forests serve as refuges from the weather and provide forage, water and den sites for numerous types of fauna, including migratory waterfowl.

A large portion of the land surrounding these lines is used for agriculture. This has significantly altered the types of habitats which can be expected in the subject region. Billings, Great Falls and Miles City are among those communities along this line that support commerce and industry. In these urbanized areas undisturbed aquatic and terrestrial habitats will be most prevalent within the confines of the right-of-way.

Several waterways follow and are crossed by these line segments. Among these are areas which include unique aquatic habitats. Great Plains waterways are useful for a number of game species; however, no known threatened or endangered species are directly associated with the rights-of-way.

NORTHERN ROCKY MOUNTAINS (CORRIDOR SEGMENTS C, D, E, AND F)

Around 20 miles west of Harlowton the line undergoes a gradual transition from the Great Plains to the Northern Rocky Mountains. Branch lines at least partly in this province include: Harlowton to Three Forks (including Ringling to Dorsey); Three Forks to Deer Lodge; Deer Lodge to Alberton (including Bonner Junction to Bonner); Alberton, Mont. to St. Maries, Idaho; St. Maries, Idaho to Bovill, Idaho; the eastern portion of St. Maries to Othello, Idaho; Plummer, Idaho to Spokane, Wash.; East Spokane, Wash. to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. The extreme rugged topography of the region has lead to the development of rail systems along major water courses. The valleys or flood plains this line follows are sparsely forested. Although surrounded by dense mountain forests, the valleys themselves are predominately riparian plains which support herbaceous vegetation and a certain amount of agriculture.

12 From the eastern front of the Rocky Mountains the line continues west across the Continental Divide near Butte into the Bitter Root range at the Idaho-Montana border, and on to the western foothills of the Rocky Mountains near the Idaho-Washington border. The physical characteristics of this region make a natural division of its plant life into four associations: The western ponderosa forest, an open forest with ground cover of grass and shrubs; the Douglas fir forest, a dense over-story with little ground cover; the cedar-hemlock-pine forest, dense canopy covering major portions; and the foothill prairie, comprised of open, fairly dense grassland. The foothill prairie extends into the region on both the eastern and western front of the Rocky Mountains.

The tumbled rocky terrain of this region is dominated by climax forests. A few mammals have strong affinity for these areas including black bear and several bat species.

The abandonment application also provided a list of historic places in the vicinity of the rail lines:

14 POSSIBLE DISPOSITION LEADS/OWNERSHIP INFORMATION

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION FROM ABANDONMENT FILING (1979) ON INTERESTED PURCHASERS

Following the submission of the Miles City West abandonment application, the ICC issued an order served August 24, 1979, requesting some supplemental information from the Milwaukee Road trustee. Included in this supplemental filing was a summary of the “suitability for public use” of the trackage and a discussion of parties that had already expressed interest in acquiring part of the lines. Montana-related highlights from this filing include:

➤ Northern Tier Pipeline had indicated general interest in portions of the right-of-way in Mon- tana, and a particular interest in the right-of-way in Missoula County (Corridor Segment E) for a pipeline.

➤ Montana Power Company had transmission lines on or immediately adjacent to the right-of- way between Harlowton and the Montana/Idaho border (Corridor Segments C, D, E, and F). They expressed interest in major portions of the right-of-way along these corridor segments.

➤ The Montana Department of Fish and Game and the Montana State Highway Department expressed interest in a number of segments scattered throughout the state of Montana.

➤ The supplemental filing also noted the suitability of many segments of the right-of-way for public use, “primarily as recreation facilities.”

HEARTLAND PARTNERS HOLDINGS

Heartland Partners, L.P., is a land holdings company that inherited much of the Milwaukee Road’s assets not still in active rail use (most former Milwaukee Road trackage still in use is held either by Burlington Northern Santa Fe or Soo Line Railroads). Heartland’s holdings consist of approximately 13,671 acres of scattered land parcels located in 12 states, including Montana, and the book value of this inventory is approximately $621,000. Heartland has sold off many of the properties that have some appeal for development, but “the volume of the company’s sales has slowed over the last seven years due to the less desirable characteristics of the remaining properties.” However, the company is also considering the sale of the properties as a whole to a third party. (Source: Heartland Partners, L.P., United States Securi- ties and Exchange Commission Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003.)

Heartland has had discussions in the past with the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) about the investigation and remediation of properties of environmental concern within the state. The two parties are in disagreement about who is liable, but to this point, DEQ has not chosen to file suit. Heartland has agreed in some instances to indemnify a buyer for known environmental concerns, including an active site in Miles City.

More information about the ownership status of specific parcels and segments of the Milwaukee Road corridor in Montana may be available from Heartland Partners.

FEDERALLY GRANTED RIGHT-OF-WAY INFORMATION

Much of the land through the state of Montana upon which the Milwaukee Road was built was granted to the railroad by the federal government. There is a limited amount of information available

15 regarding these grants–information on exact locations of federally granted parcels would require additional local research. However, below is a summary of federally granted acreage along the corridor segments in question. The segments are broken down differently than in the railroad’s abandonment filing, in this case it is by Valuation Section map number.

STRATEGIES FOR SUCCESSFUL TRAILS

As community groups and public agencies pursue the conversion of Montana’s rail corridors to multi- use trails including transit use, some important steps must be followed to avoid common pitfalls, inform the public and assure safe and enjoyable trail use.

Rails-to-Trails Conservancy (RTC) has identified three crucial components to a successful trail and greenway project.

➤ Strong, volunteer citizen support or “friends of the trail group”

➤ A plan of action that articulates a vision for the project and asks the tough questions about

ownership, funding, management, etc.

➤ Public agency support

The following are some good practices to apply during the trail development process:

DETERMINE SALEABILITY

The first step for any corridor conversion will include meeting with the railroad company or corridor owner to determine their willingness to sell, a timeline for selling, conditions of sale and an estimate of the acquisition cost. The outcome of this step will determine how the process should proceed.

USEFUL RESOURCE: RTC has published a how-to manual, Acquiring Rail Corridors, for detailed guidance on this process.

STAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENT

If the sale appears to be imminent and feasible, the next step will be to determine who potential stakeholders will be. Because stakeholders will be the organizing force behind trail implementation, they should be the first audience to receive information about the projected benefits, costs and development framework for the trail project. The following categories of stakeholders are recommended for the Montana railroad corridor projects:

➤ Neighborhood Planning Units

➤ Collaborative partners from similar and connected projects

➤ Local user groups including bicycling, walking and youth groups

➤ Local nonprofit groups such as Friends of the Trail

➤ Local governmental elected officials

➤ Local government departments

➤ Neighborhood associations and housing groups

➤ Nearby businesses and area Chamber of Commerce

The stakeholders should meet as one large, or several small, groups to discuss the project and receive

34 factual and anecdotal input on its potential, issues and opportunities. Their input can help customize the rest of the steps. The lead stakeholders in the trail’s development should be determined at these meetings. The leaders who step forward to help with the trail project may be formed into a steering committee to help with the implementation steps.

PROJECT INTEGRATION If stakeholders agree to proceed with the trail project, the next step involves incorporating the project as a priority in critical planning documents, such as the recreation plan, the community master plan and the community zoning plan. In order for the project to be formally adopted by local elected planning and recreation boards, trail project planners will have to advocate for the project and present the project plans and benefits to relevant boards and groups. The integration of the project into community plans is a requirement of many public grant programs at the state and federal level. Stakeholders on the project steering committee can have a considerable influence by advocating for the project to appropriate decision makers, lending professional expertise and notifying necessary parties when the integration is official.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Another requirement of many public grant programs, and the next step in the process, is a Phase I environmental assessment. The assessment will include a visual inspection, examination of relevant public records and a sampling of possible problem areas. If the Phase I study identifies problem areas, a Phase II assessment may be required, including tests to determine contami- nation levels and clean-up steps necessary before securing public funding. The Phase II assessment can be avoided if the corridor owner assumes responsibility for clean-up costs should problem areas need attention.

FEASIBILITY STUDY AND TRAIL COST ESTIMATE A feasibility study is the next step in the corridor conversion process. While this report begins to detail which sections of the corridor hold realistic potential as a trail projects, more detailed feasibility studies will guide the implementation and development of the projects. A feasibility study involves a specific physical review of the corridor, including an analysis of treatment options for intersections, possible realignments of the corridor, surface alternatives, potential locations and design of trailheads and all other design issues and opportunities. A feasibility study will also include potential trail management options and a determination of maintenance tasks to be un- dertaken regularly or on an as-needed basis. The administrative structure required to accomplish the trail maintenance will be discussed in the study. Specific questions addressed in the feasibility study will be:

➤ Who will own and manage the trail?

➤ How will the trail be maintained, including standards for vegetation management, snow removal, trail surface repair, litter removal, graffiti cleanup and sweeping?

➤ How will the trail be patrolled by police and volunteer citizens?

➤ What provisions will exist for emergency vehicle access and citizen emergency phone access?

Additionally, two or three sessions inviting public input on the feasibility study topics will help customize the trail design for its potential users. Individual meetings with stakeholders as needed will further help the steering committee arrive at a preliminary design. From this information, the community group or public agency leading the project will create a trail cost estimate and a strategy for funding, which will include a list of federal, state and private grants for which the project would be most eligible. A trail cost estimate will indicate how much local match will be required, and thefeasibility study will explore possible ways of raising these dollars, tailored to the community.

35 INCREASING PUBLIC AWARENESS

A brochure depicting the vision for the trail project including who, what, where and why will draw potential trail supporters to comment on design considerations, provide financial support and advocate at public meetings. A marketing plan should accompany the development of the brochure to determine how they will be distributed and how and when to contact the media for coverage of the trail effort. Possible venues for a display booth should be explored by trail supporters to increase public awareness.

The more places information can be disseminated, the more likely the trail will gain acceptance in the community.

LEGAL ISSUES AFFECTING THE OWNERSHIP OF RAIL TRAILS AND THE LIABILITY OF TRAIL MANAGERS IN MONTANA

I. State Law Affecting Ownership of Rail Corridors

A. General Background

Where a railroad corridor cannot be railbanked under federal law (16 U.S.C. § 1247(d)), the ability to convert a railroad corridor into a trail depends on the interpretation of the applicable deeds under state law, and the public policy (either statutory or common law) of the state concerning preservation of rail corridors. In general, in determining whether a rail corridor can be converted to trail use under state law, there are three basic questions that must be addressed: First, a determination must be made about the nature of the railroad’s ownership interest (fee versus easement). If easement, the next question is whether the easement has been abandoned. Third, whether the terms of the easement are sufficiently broad to encompass trail use.

If the railroad acquired title in fee simple, then the railroad has the right to transfer the corridor for any purpose, including trail use. Trail interests are also protected if the corridor was acquired by the railroad through federal land grants. The railroad’s fee interest may also be construed as a defeasible fee interest (i.e., a fee estate subject to a retained future interest by the grantor), that provides for a right of reentry or reverter if the corridor ceases to be used for railroad purposes. In the case of a defeasible fee, the question is whether such a right of re-entry has been extinguished by a marketable title law, designed to permit defeasible fees to ripen into full fee simple title upon the passage of time and/or the failure of the holder of the reversionary interest to record that interest.

If the railroad acquired only an easement interest, the ability to convert the easement to a trail depends on whether the railroad has abandoned the easement, and whether the language of the easement, interpreted in light of the applicable public policy of state, is broad enough to encompass trail use, or whether the state has adopted a “shifting public use” policy that would permit railroad easements to be used for trail purposes. If the right of way was originally granted by the federal government, then federal law will cover the disposition of the interest acquired. See 43 U.S.C. §§ 912-13; see also 16 U.S.C. § 1248(c).

B. Creation of a Fee versus an Easement

“An easement can be created by grant, reservation, exception or covenant, by implication or by prescription.” See Kuhlman v. Rivera, 701 P.2d 982, 985 (Mont. 1985). In deciding whether a railroad deed conveyed a fee or an easement interest, the language used in a conveyance determines the scope of the easement. See Mont. Code. Ann. 70-17-106 (2003); See also Bridger v. Lake, 896 P.2d 406, 408-09 (Mont. 1995) (affirming use of summary judgment to determine that an easement had been created by the terms of the conveyance). A non-possessory interest in land can be acquired through prescription, while a possessory interest and title can be obtained through adverse possession. Habel v. Barton, 68 P.3d 743, 746 (Mont. 2003). While both prescriptive easements and adverse possession are established in similar manners, “[t]he party claiming [title through] adverse possession must also have paid taxes on the property for the full statutory period.” Id. Montana follows the majority “rule that title to public

43 roads may not be obtained by adverse possession.” Baertsch v. County of Lewis and Clark, 845 P.2d 106, 111 (Mont. 1992).

A grant of “land” usually means that the grantee acquire some sort of fee interest. Maberry v. Gueths, 777 P.2d 1285, 1287 (1989). The term “right of way” has a dual meaning. Id. It can be used in a descriptive manner to refer to land or it can be used name the legal interest acquired in land, such as an easement. Id. A deciding factor in many cases was that the term right of way appeared to be used as a descriptive term and did not limit the grant of land. Id. at 1287-88. In reaching this conclusion courts tend to focus primarily on the language used in the granting and habendum clauses. Id. at 1288. In Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul Ry. Co. v. Poland, 172 P 541 (Mont. 1918), one of the factors leading to the conclusion that an easement had been granted rather than a fee estate was that the railroad corridors at issue “involved a portion of the railroad land which crossed a public street, not privately owned land.” Maberry v. Gueths, 777 P.2d at 1287.

C. Possibility of Reverter and Right of Re-Entry

Montana does not have a statute that limits the future interest of conditional estates. Use of a railroad corridor in a manner not permitted by the original terms of the conveyance may trigger reversion of the corridor. However, by statute, Montana limits the amount of time in which a claim by entry can be filed. See Mont. Code. Ann. § 70-19-403 (within a year of making entry or within five years of the right to make entry accruing).

D. Abandonment

Mont. Code. Ann. § 70-17-111 provides several ways in which an easement may be extinguished. The statute is not limited to railroad easements, but is applied to all types of servitudes. Under the statute, an easement may be extinguished if the owner of the easement acquires the estate over which the easement lies. Id. at § 70-17-111(1). An easement may also be extinguished “by the destruction of the servient tenement.” Id. at § 70-17-111(2). Additionally, an easement may be extinguished “by the performance of an act upon either tenement by the owner of the servitude or with his assent which is incompatible with its nature or exercise.” Id. at § 70-17-111(3). And finally, an easement acquired by prescription may be extinguished by nonuse. Id. at § 70-17-111(4). However, “[a]s a general rule an easement acquired by grant or reservation cannot be lost by mere nonuser for any length of time, no matter how great.” City of Billings v. O. E. Lee Co., 542 P.2d 97,99 (Mont. 1975) (proving abandonment requires demonstrating a clear intent to abandon). See also Renner v. Nemitz, 33 P.3d 255, 262 (Mont. 2001) (noting abandonment must be proven with words or acts that indicate clear intent to abandon” while affirming a district court judgment that an easement had not been abandoned).

E. Public Policy

Montana does not have any case or statutory law that directly addresses whether an estate limited to “railroad purposes only” may use be used in the interim as a recreational trail. Montana has a statute which discusses the importance of preserving railroad corridors and the use of former railroad corridors as trails, but the statute does not specifically state that a corridor limited to “railroad purposes only” may be used as a recreational trail.

Mont. Code. Ann. § 60-11-111 provides authorization for the department of transportation to to “identify railroad rights-of-way in [Montana] that may be abandoned and research the feasibility of acquisition by the state of Montana of those rights-of-way that may be abandoned.” Id. at § 60-11- 111(3)(a). The department of transportation is also authorized to “identify, under the state rail plan-

44 ning program, railroad branch lines that should be preserved for continued operation.” Id. at § 60-11- 111(3)(b). Additionally, the department of transportation may “cooperate [with] and assist persons representing recreational . . . interests . . . in acquiring ownership or easement of abandoned railbeds.” Id. at § 60-11-111(3)(d). The statute also provides for holding “all acquired lands in trust for transportation purposes.” Id. at § 60-11-111(3)(c)(i).

Abandonment under this part is defined as “the relinquishment of property, both real and personal, and the discontinuance of railroad services. Abandonment may be accomplished by voluntary act or by formal procedure.” Id. at § 60-11-110. Recreational interest is defined as “a local government or not-for-profit corporation that has as its stated purpose the development, use, or maintenance of public recreational trails.” Id. at § 60-11-112. The legislature makes several findings that discuss the importance of preserving railroad corridors for future transportation use. For example, “[t]he legislature finds that it is in the interests of the state of Montana to preserve and encourage, whenever possible, Montana’s railroad transportation infrastructure.” Id. at § 60-11-121(1). Additionally, “[t]he legislature further finds that the preservation of those railroads . . . and the development and improvement of intermodal transportation facilities are necessary to enhance access to markets, to mitigate rural isolation and long-term negative impacts on the highways of the state, and to promote the effi- ciency and effectiveness of the state’s transportation system.” Id. at (3). The legislature also found that the “abandonment of railroad branch lines and the increased demands for shipping have a negative impact on the highways of the state.” Id. at (2)(b).

E. Liability of Trail Managers Under Montana Law

Under the common law of most states, the liability of owners and occupiers of land is defined by the extent to which one person owes a “duty of care” to the person who sustained an injury. Trail managers, as a particular class of landowners, receive special protection from liability by state-enacted Recre- ational Use Statutes (RUS). Recreational Use Statutes, which are in effect in some form in all 50 states, alter common law tort principles regarding landowner liability to invitees, licensees, and tres- passers by narrowing or obviating the owner’s duty of care toward recreational users. Instead, RUS’s limit the liability of certain landowners who allow the public free use of their land for recreational purposes.

Montana’s version of a RUS is Mont. Code. Ann. §§ 70-16-301 and 70-16-302. Section 70-16-302 limits the liability of property owners whose land is used for recreational purposes. This provision applies to both private and public landowners. Id. at 70-16-302(2). Under § 70-16-302(1), the landowner gives no assurances “that the property is safe for any purpose . . .The landowner owes the person no duty of care with respect to the condition of the property.” Liability is not limited “ for an act or omission that constitutes willful or wanton misconduct.” Id. This provision applies as long as the landowner does not receive valuable consideration for the use of his or her land. Id. Under this provision the state land recreational license fee imposed under 77-1-802 is not considered valuable consideration. Id. The land has to be available to the public for this section to apply. See Saari v. Winter Sports, Inc., 64 P.3d 1038, 1041 (Mont. 2003). The term recreational purpose as used in § 70-16-302 “includes hunting, fishing, swimming, boating, waterskiing, camping, picnicking, pleasure driving, biking, winter sports, hiking, touring or viewing culture and historical sites and monuments, spelunk- ing, or other pleasure expeditions.” Mont. Code. Ann. § 70-16-301. Property is defined as “land, roads, water, watercourses, and private ways.” 70-16-302(3).

91 F: ABOUT RAILS-TO-TRAILS CONSERVANCY

Founded in 1986, Rails-to-Trails Conservancy (RTC) was created to breathe new life into abandoned rail lines by converting them to multi-use trails for public use nationwide. Prior to that time, there were only 200 open railtrails in the country and more than half of the nation ’s 300,000-mile railroad network laid unused or abandoned. Since its founding, RTC has helped convert more than 12,000 miles of abandoned railroad corridors into America’s newest parklands, enjoyed by more than 100 million users a year: places like the Cape Cod Rail-Trail,

Nebraska’s Cowboy Trail, the San Diego Bay Shore Bikeway, the Illinois Prairie Path, the Capital Cres- cent Trail in Washington, D.C., and hundreds of others. Now 19 years old, Rails-to-Trails Conservancy has become the largest and most widely respected trails organization in America. In addition, Rail-to- Trails Conservancy is the only national group devoted to preserving railroad corridors by converting them to multi-use trails.

RTC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with: 43 employees distributed among five regional offices in California, Florida, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania serving the Northeast, and headquarters in Washington, D.C.; more than 100,000 members and supporters nationwide; a 13-member board of directors that meets three times a year; an operating budget of $6 million dedicated to trail building, corridor preservation, open space protection, public education and advocacy; five national and three international Trails and Greenways Conferences to date, the most recent in June 2003 in Providence, R.I., attended by more than 500 trail activists; a full-color quarterly magazine, Rails to Trails, and a highly-visited family of linked Web sites (accessible at www.railtrails.org) addressing a broad range of information from trail- finder databases for the everyday user to technical counsel on trail purchase and construction; recognition from a diverse mix of interests, including health, environment, government and recreation, such as:

• Lead private sector partner in the White House Millennium Trails Program that identified and celebrated 16 National Millennium Trails, 51 Millennium Legacy Trails and more than 1,000 Millennium Community Trails;

• The Presidential Award for Sustainable Development by The President’s Council of Sustain- able Development;

• The Biennial Trails Service Award from American Trails;

• Sponsorship from The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to bring public health officials to our 2001 and 2003 conferences to create an exchange and address a common agenda between the trail and health communities, and;

• The American Greenways Dupont Award from the Conservation Fund, Dupont Corporation and the National Geographic Society.
