National association recognizes Missoula County in southern passenger rail push

Big Sky Rail Authority

While the train hasn’t yet left the station, the National Association of Counties has recognized Missoula County for its innovation and leadership in getting the Big Sky Passenger Rail Authority up and running in a push to restore service to the state’s southern tier.

The association on Tuesday awarded Missoula County its 2021 Achievement Award, recognizing its effort to unify other counties along the old southern route in a collective push to restore the old North Coast Hiawatha.

Commissioner Dave Strohmaier, who has spearheaded the effort and currently serves as the rail authority’s inaugural president, called the achievement a team effort that spans the state from east to west.
