TRAINS: Crude oil comment

| December 28, 2014 8:00 PM

Crude oil was never mentioned by me in my comments to the Press regarding rail service into Coeur d’Alene. And in no way would I ever suggest that crude become part of the business mix for Coeur d’Alene or Post Falls, or that those cities are somehow “missing out” on such business. Right now, crude accounts for only about 5 percent of the trains which BNSF runs through our area on its main line adjacent to Highway 53.
