Established by Montana counties in 2020, BSPRA has grown into a regional partnership bringing together communities, Tribal Nations, local governments and transportation partners. What began as a grassroots effort to restore passenger rail is now a structured regional planning initiative with a formal role in the federal process. Coalition formed: Local governments organized around restoring passenger rail. Federal planning: The Big Sky North Coast Corridor entered the federal passenger rail planning process. Service development: Route, service, ridership and operating needs are being developed. Infrastructure & funding: Future phases will identify infrastructure needs and funding strategies. Future passenger service: The long-term goal: restored intercity passenger rail across the corridor. BNSF’s Blue Jean Special crosses a trestle during its April 2025 Helena–Avon trip. BSPRA directors Dave Strohmaier, Darrel Folkvord and George Real Bird III meet with federal leaders in Washington, D.C., in support of passenger rail restoration. 2,300 MILES • 8 STATES • GREAT LAKES TO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST Connect Connect With Us ith Us Stay informed and get involved in Stay informed and get involved in restoring passenger rail across the Big restoring passenger rail across the Big Sky North Coast Corridor Sky North Coast Corridor.

Established by Montana counties in 2020, BSPRA has grown into a regional partnership bringing together communities, Tribal Nations, local governments and transportation partners. What began as a grassroots effort to restore passenger rail is now a structured regional planning initiative with a formal role in the federal process. Coalition formed: Local governments organized around restoring passenger rail. Federal planning: The Big Sky North Coast Corridor entered the federal passenger rail planning process. Service development: Route, service, ridership and operating needs are being developed. Infrastructure & funding: Future phases will identify infrastructure needs and funding strategies. Future passenger service: The long-term goal: restored intercity passenger rail across the corridor. BNSF’s Blue Jean Special crosses a trestle during its April 2025 Helena–Avon trip. BSPRA directors Dave Strohmaier, Darrel Folkvord and George Real Bird III meet with federal leaders in Washington, D.C., in support of passenger rail restoration. 2,300 MILES • 8 STATES • GREAT LAKES TO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST Connect Connect With Us ith Us Stay informed and get involved in Stay informed and get involved in restoring passenger rail across the Big restoring passenger rail across the Big Sky North Coast Corridor Sky North Coast Corridor.

Established by Montana counties in 2020, BSPRA has grown into a regional partnership bringing together communities, Tribal Nations, local governments and transportation partners. What began as a grassroots effort to restore passenger rail is now a structured regional planning initiative with a formal role in the federal process. Coalition formed: Local governments organized around restoring passenger rail. Federal planning: The Big Sky North Coast Corridor entered the federal passenger rail planning process. Service development: Route, service, ridership and operating needs are being developed. Infrastructure & funding: Future phases will identify infrastructure needs and funding strategies. Future passenger service: The long-term goal: restored intercity passenger rail across the corridor. BNSF’s Blue Jean Special crosses a trestle during its April 2025 Helena–Avon trip. BSPRA directors Dave Strohmaier, Darrel Folkvord and George Real Bird III meet with federal leaders in Washington, D.C., in support of passenger rail restoration. 2,300 MILES • 8 STATES • GREAT LAKES TO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST Connect Connect With Us ith Us Stay informed and get involved in Stay informed and get involved in restoring passenger rail across the Big restoring passenger rail across the Big Sky North Coast Corridor Sky North Coast Corridor.
