Stampede Pass and Milwaukee Road Rail Lines
Burlington Northern is considering reopening the Stampede Pass and Milwaukee Road rail lines
to improve cross -state freight transportation
Stampede Pass Rail Line
Rail service over Stampede Pass was discontinued in 1981
A third rail line through the Cascades would meet increased demand for cross -state freight rail
-- The two existing lines have limited expansion options
In 1991, the Legislature appropriated funding to purchase the line if BN decided to abandon it
- - BN did not choose to abandon the line
BN is now planning to reopen Stampede Pass
- - May be opened as soon as January 1997
Reopening this line will improve freight rail service to the Yakima Valley
Stampede Pass and Milwaukee Road Rail Lines
Milwaukee Road Rail Line
Extends from Ellensburg to Lind
Currently used as a pedestrian and bicycle trail
-- Is a segment of the cross -state trail which is now being developed
-- Owned by the State Parks and Recreation Commission
Converting the corridor to freight rail would allow intermodal freight trains running over
Stampede Pass to better serve markets in Eastern Washington and other states
Engrossed Substitute House Bill 2832 authorizes the state to use the corridor for freight rail
service
-- Funding would be provided to purchase and develop land to replace the current trail
Through service via the Milwaukee Road line will reduce the number of trains passing through
Yakima
