Avalanche halts rail traffc on BNSF's Hi-Line

摘要

An avalanche blocked the tracks on BNSF's northern Hi-Line route across Montana and North Dakota this weekend, exacerbating other delays to rail traffc that have Powder River basin (PRB) coal shippers on edge. BNSF said today it does not have an estimated time for reopening the Hi-Line track. The railroad is “experiencing operational impacts due to avalanche activity in the Glacier Park area” of Montana and anticipates “delays to traffc moving across the northern region.”
