Shortline connection/BNsf in the Iron Range...

New nine-mile Iron Range line approved
pixel.gif
The Surface Transportation Board Monday announced a decision permitting the Itasca County (Minn.) Regional Rail Authority (ICRRA) to build a nine-mile rail line from a Class I rail connection at Taconite to the site of a new steel mill to be constructed by Minnesota Steel Industries at Nashwauk. An existing short line will operate the new line under contract. The Class I connection is a line between Grand Rapids and Forbes, Minn., that is owned in part by BNSF Railway and in part by Canadian National.

More easy revenue for BNSF/CN without doing a damn thing.

Actually, the line there is already built. It runs from Gunn, MN (outside Grand Rapids) to Taconite, MN.  They are going to upgrade the line to handle heavy tonnage, since they are building the Butler Steel Plant on that line. They are also building a coal gasification plant on that line also, so plenty more work there.

They shut that line down several years ago because the track is on a hill overlooking Bovey, MN. The problem is, there is an abandoned taconite mine above that, and is about 800 feet deep, and filled with water. If that hill lets loose, the town below is gone.

Kind of like that "Deliverance" movie...
