Gallatin, Broadwater counties join push for Montana passenger rail service; members now at 7

With the deadline nearing, the coalition of counties looking to bring passenger rail service back to southern Montana grew over the weekend, with both Gallatin and Broadwater counties signing on.

With two more counties aboard, the Big Sky Passenger Rail Authority will include at least seven county members in its inaugural resolution, which will likely be adopted later this month.

Only two counties are needed to form the authority under state law.
