The Big Sky Passenger Rail Authority held its second official board meeting this week, selecting officers from across the state while courting additional counties.

Missoula County Commissioner Dave Strohmaier, who helped spearhead the authority’s formation, was appointed as the board’s inaugural president.

“We are off to the races,” Strohmaier said Thursday. “Getting this thing up and running is like constructing the train as it’s running down the tracks. We’re trying to feel our way through this.”
