Montana Rail Link (MRL) operates former
Northern Pacific trackage on a long term lease with BNSF in Montana.
BNSF retained trackage rights to Spokane, WA.
In 2022 MRL announced they would terminate their lease and BNSF
would resume operation of those routes subject to STB approval. The
transition finalized Jan 1, 2024.
