Earlier this summer, the South Dakota Rail Board complained about the condition of the state owned MRC line from Mitchell to Chamberlain. Rail Board Chairman Todd Yeaton says they think that problem has been handled……

Yeaton says they will get a detailed report on that line more often in the future…..

Yeaton says rail traffic should speed up as part of the repair process………

The rail line is being extended west of the Missouri River to Presho. That section of line could open late this fall.
