  • 0.2 Executive Summary
    2010 Montana State Rail Plan Executive Summary The 2010 Montana State Rail Plan describes historical and forecasted freight trends, provides operating and system characteristics of the State’s freight rail system, and summarizes ongoing efforts to expand and secure funding for addi- tional passenger rail service through the State. The Plan also describes the impact of grain facility consolidation; identifies potential rail funding programs to acquire, improve, establish, or rehabilitate intermodal rail equipment or facili- ties; and lists several other ongoing issues affecting rail service in Montana, such as rail competition and growing freight volumes. The following sections sum- marize the key topics in each chapter of the 2010 Montana State Rail Plan. FREIGHT TRENDS As consumer demand for goods has increased over the past several decades, freight service demand has grown along with it (Figure ES.1). In 2005, over 4.5 trillion ton-miles of freight were shipped in the United States – about 15,300 ton- miles per capita. Rail transportation, the fastest growing among the freight modes, represented the largest share (38 percent) of the freight ton-miles shipped in the United States. National increases in freight volume between 2002 and 2035 are generally balanced among modes, and increases in volume will be strongest in intermodal and truck movements. In Montana, growth in freight volume and value is concentrated in truck and intermodal movements, as rail shipments of coal and agricultural products are not expected to expand dramatically in vol- ume or value. This section of the report has extensive data on the modal shares of freight in Montana.

The Budd diners operated between Chicago and Seattle until the end of BN service in 1971. Dining cars were cycled in and out of eastbound No. 26 at St. Paul Union Depot and were serviced at the nearby NP Commissary. Five of the six cars were purchased by Amtrak in 1971 and operated in the North Coast Hiawatha, and later in the "Heritage Fleet", particularly on the trains between Chicago and New York and Washington.
