Oil trains a boon

Orrin B. Webber is at it again with his NIMBY (not in my back yard) scare tactic about trains and oil.

The Flathead Valley exists because of the railroad. BNSF Railway employs many, many people here in the Flathead and contributes millions of dollars to our economy.

America and Canada need to produce as much oil as possible. Until the Keystone XL pipeline is approved and built, the railroad will be carrying a lot of oil.

Keep riding your bicycle, Orrin, and stop ranting about the railroad and its awesome contribution to our economy.
