Yukon, Alaska to study railroad idea north.cbc.ca [This idea re-appears every ten years or so, like a comet orbiting back in from the Oort Cloud. -Snow] Last updated Apr 26 2005 11:34 AM CDT CBC News JUNEAU, Alaska – The Yukon and Alaskan governments are teaming up to study the economic and social benefits of a proposed rail line running through Canada and Alaska. Officials announced Monday the signing of a memorandum of understanding to launch the year-long study, expected to begin in May. The railway would link Alaska, the Yukon and northern British Columbia, and then run down into the contiguous United States. The two governments have agreed to establish the Alaska-Canada Rail Advisory Committee, comprising members from both jurisdictions. The study is expected to cost $5 million US. Alaska Gov. Frank Murkowski says the rail corridor could incorporate fibre optic communications and a potential natural gas pipeline. Yukon Minister of Economic Development Jim Kenyon says that if the project goes ahead, it would allow economic diversification in both countries. "It gives us a better leg from Anchorage to Atlanta or Whitehorse to Halifax or any combination thereof," he said.
