It’s official: Big Sky Passenger Rail Authority forms, eyes southern route
MISSOULA — A dozen participating counties spanning Montana from east to west officially formed the Big Sky Passenger Rail Authority on Tuesday and plan to hold their first meeting in the coming weeks.
Missoula County Commissioner Dave Strohmaier said 12 counties will serve as founding members of the startup authority, which looks to restore passenger rail service to the state’s southern tier.
It’s the first such rail authority ever established in Montana.
