Railroad vies for federal funding
The Board of Clark County Commissioners placed revitalization of the Chelatchie Prairie Railroad at the top of its list to benefit from a federal economic stimulus package.
Supporters for the revitalization of the rail line that spans 33 miles from the BNSF mainline near Vancouver to Chelatchie, say the time is right to make major improvements to its infrastructure.
The price tag for the proposed project is estimated to be at least $28 million, with nearly $7 million needed in the near future to replace the worst sections.
