TheAverageJoe Posted January 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Will it make it easier to run passenger trains on the line? From the looks of it OmniTrax wants to sell the railway and port but operate back on a longer term contract from the local Native communities that want to buy it.

dbdb Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 This is great news.
