I appreciate the Montana Department of Transportation’s (MDT’s) efforts in updating this plan— particularly by continuing to examine alternatives for enhancing passenger rail service in Montana. And while Chapter 4 discusses both the Empire Builder and the possibility of reinstating passenger rail service in southern Montana, my comments focus on the latter, as I take it as a given that the continuation of the Empire Builder will remain a priority for the state. In addition, my comments relative to the restoration of passenger rail service in southern Montana boil down to one main point: the two-tiered Amtrak study requested by MDT is inadequate to address the true feasibility of reinstating passenger rail service through southern Montana due to its limited focus on intrastate service. This appears to be largely a function of the original scope of work assigned to Amtrak by MDT, as described in section I.A of Amtrak’s Feasibility Report on Proposed Amtrak Services in Southern Montana (Amtrak Report). Let me elaborate. The Tier 1 analysis focuses on Billings to Missoula. Given (i) the meager projected ridership along this route, (ii) the capital investment necessary to put this intercity line into service, and (iii) the fact that the state of Montana would be responsible for a significant amount of the initial capital outlay and ongoing operational costs, it is extremely unlikely that this limited route is a feasible undertaking.
