Boebert rivals in Colorado fight oil train, which Utah's congressional delegation and Ute reservation leaders support

The proposed 88-mile Uinta Basin Railway would connect drilling operations in northeast Utah to the main rail line near Price, sending up to five two-mile-long oil trains a day along the Colorado River and through Denver toward Gulf Coast refineries, increasing production by up to 350,000 barrels a day. Legal action by environmental groups  and Eagle County, including nearly $450,000 in taxpayer-funded legal feels, has delayed if not outright derailed the project.
