"The goal to see passenger rail in Montana by 2030 will be difficult to 
achieve"

There is a lot of history involved. The Great Northern railroad ran across 
the northern part of the state, close to the Canadian border. The area is 
still referred to as the Hi-Line since it was the northernmost railroad in 
the US. There isn't much there, but that's the Amtrak route.

The Northern Pacific line runs through the central part of the state where 
people actually live.

Nice station. I've seen a couple of tourist trains that must have gotten 
lost. There is another historic station.

That one is out of the question. Most of the Milwaukee Road tracks were 
torn up and turned into bike paths. The Milwaukee was ahead of its time. 
They electrified 438 miles from Harlowtown MT to Avery ID in 1916. That 
was quite a thing since there is a 1.6 mile tunnel at St. Paul Pass. If 
you've ever been through a tunnel behind a steam locomotive you can 
appreciate the context.
