The Rolling Pipeline

The afternoon edition of Montana Rail Link's twice-daily Gas Local winds along the south bank of the Flathead River on MRL's scenic but sparsely utilized 10th Subdivision between Perma and Paradise, MT. The fuel carried by this move bridges the missing link of the Yellowstone Pipeline, an operation rendered necessary by the Salish and Kootenai tribes' refusal to resign land lease agreements with the pipeline owners after several spills occurred in the mid-1990s. MRL's services are needed between Missoula and Thompson Falls, MT, over protected land where the pipeline is not permitted.
