Northern Cheyenne votes against key railroad route

摘要

Citing multiple cultural and environmental concerns, the Northern Cheyenne Tribal Council voted unanimously to oppose a controversial railroad considered key to developing Otter Creek coal in Montana. BNSF Railway Co., Arch Coal Inc. and candy bar magnate Forrest Mars have proposed the $403 million Tongue River Railroad as a means of opening southeast Montana to large-scale coal surface mining.
