After executing an operating agreement with Union Pacific railroad for the Tennessee Pass line through Eagle County, Colorado Midland & Pacific is now in the public outreach phase of its planning process.
Colorado Midland & Pacific community liaison Sara Cassidy visited the Avon Town Council on Jan. 12, where she received no comment from council members (they later voted in favor of hiring an attorney to handle railroad matters), and on Jan. 20, Cassidy visited Minturn, where she recorded questions about the railroad from the town council and the community.
Colorado Midland & Pacific seeks to revive the Tennessee Pass line, which stopped running trains in the 1990s.
