A spokesman for Montana Rail Link says the future is bright. The short-line rail company recently hired back 50 furloughed employees and is in the midst of hiring 45 additional rail crew members. Jim Lewis says the plan is to have those hires completed by the end of April. Lewis is the director of sales and marketing for Montana Rail Link. Last week he was at a coal conference in Florida and he talked with Jackie Yamanaka about what the growing demand for coal and other commodities will mean for the railroad.
