BNSF railroad is hiring daily-- fantastic paying jobs- with good family oriented benis, retirements and insurance... Building off loading ramps and storage sites for oil drilling materials/sands-- and onloading ramps for oil/liquid natural gas....
Talk of building two additional tracks across the state (north route and south route)...Also still talk of building a huge coal diseliquafication plant- but I heard that was on hold until Congress can come up with a longterm energy plan... Until then he is planning on shipping coal to China..

We are a railroad town.. Town was built by railroad and originally called Siding 45... Railroad also built the community transporting in homesteaders in the early 1900's... And they are still the center of our economy today..

BSNF Railroad has no choice but to spend money on railways due to the 2008 legislation & "Federally Mandated" (PTC) "Positive Train Control".

Let's see............................ who was in office in 2008 that could have signed that legislation?

"Diseliquafication" plant? Are you really as stupid as you seem? Did you mean "Deliquification"?

Google this:

U.S. Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008

According to BVSF website they have 7 jobs available in MT. All but one is skilled and more than likely wont be found at a local search.
Another attempt by oldtimer to try and lie to make himself look good.

Guess old Buffett is in a quandry....Wants BNSF to do well so is against the XL Pipeline, but also wants Exxon Mobil and Conoco Phillips to do well to as he owns huge amounts of stock in these companies and they own huge amounts of the tar sands field. Wonder who will win..."BIG OIL"???? :wink:

And Warren Buffett will win.. XL will go thru- but there is still more oil than can be carried by the allocation to the pipeline-- and the more drilling sites and expansion of the oil patch means more infrastructure that will be hauled in by rail....

And for you doubting Thomas's-- I did get the wedding performed... Beautiful outdoor ceremony in the park... I didn't make it to any of the after function or even up to see my uncle as I had to go watch the Grandsons football practice...
But I did get to talk to my uncle by phone that evening- and he reassured me that the whole population of the manor had seen Romneys screwups- and were grumbling about his way of thinking...

Bnsf needs to repair it's old rails first. How many derailments a year OT in Montana?

Funny you should mention that. Last winter and this spring there were
guys working on the rails steady. I visited with them and while I'm no
Buffet fan, they said he'd done more repair than they'd ever seen done
as long as he had worked there--which was a long time. The crossing
in town was repaired too and it needed it for sure.

About a month ago there was a BIG BN train derailment on the other side
of the little town of Plevna, Mt. Firefighters were called out and stayed
on the site for a couple of days. They were loaded with some kind of
alcohol and 4 cars exploded. Oh, it was exciting for awhile. But I never
did hear why they derailed. Maybe the newspaper should look into that. :D

I know a few engineers for bnsf that say lots of rails are in need of major repair. Maybe they are starting to get it done. I heard one of the cars was leaking and the metal to metal created a spark and blew. The engineers say no one high up will ever let it out what caused it, because that is how they do business.

The RR crew walked the line from Hettinger to Miles City, that's all I know.
I can imagine the rails are in bad repair because BN didn NOTHING for
years. The RR runs through our place so we get a first hand look at what's
going on right here anyway. It was pretty sad before. Thanks ranch hand.

The $103 million project includes $34 million in TIGER-II federal funding to pay for the public benefits. BNSF and UP are responsible for funding a total of $51 million for the project.

An estimated $13 billion in new federal money for high-speed passenger rail service should go to a single project that demonstrates its effectiveness, the top executive of freight railroad Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp. (BNI) said Thursday.

Veiled by the Kansas debate over cutting state services or raising taxes was a $35 million gem that lawmakers left for BNSF Railway, according to the Kansas City Star.

State and local officials had hoped to secure $50 million in stimulus money for BNSF but lost out in February, when the federal government doled out $1.5 billion.

and the list of federal $ going to BNSF is long... not as long as his unpaid tax bill but plenty long enough to buy a few votes...

before you thank uncle Buffet,.. you had better thank uncle Obama for the hand out to uncle Buffet..

Far be it from me to ever thank him. In fact, I thought part of why
Obama stopped the XL pipeline because his old buddy Buffet wants to
haul all that oil on his RR.
