 | | The Tongue River Railroad Company, Inc.’s (TRRC’s) rail line project located in Custer, Big Horn, Powder River, and Rosebud Counties, Montana, is the subject of three separate applications, known as Tongue River I, Tongue River II, and Tongue River III. |
 | | The overall purpose of Tongue River I, Tongue River II, and Tongue River III is to transport coal from mines in the Powder River Basin and Tongue River Valley to markets in the Midwest and northeastern states. |
 | | In 1998, TRRC filed an application, Tongue River III, with the Board seeking authority to construct and operate a 17.3-mile line of railroad, known as the Western Alignment, which is an alternative routing for the southernmost portion of the 41-mile Ashland-to-Decker rail line. |
