RAIL PROJECT APPROVED UNDER STATE RAIL PLAN

As a benefit of completing its State Rail Plan, North Dakota is receiving 80 percent Federal Rail Assistance funds for rehabilitation of a 2.9-mile branch line which will be used to deliver coal to the Jamestown state hospital when it is converted to that fuel. Burlington Northern will do the work scheduled for completion in 1981.
