Pro-Amtrak whistle-stop tour planned for Hi-Line

A whistle-stop tour led by Gov. Brian Schweitzer in support of Amtrak will roll through Havre on June 1, Bear Paw Development Corp. executive director Paul Tuss said Monday.

The two-day tour will extend from Glasgow to Whitefish, with town meetings and rallies being held along the way. Long-distance passenger service on Amtrak has been threatened by funding cuts proposed by the Bush administration.

Bear Paw Development Corp. is working with the governor’s office to coordinate the tour on a grass-roots level, Tuss said. Bear Paw officials will work with economic development agencies along the route to coordinate the tour.
