If only we had Thomas to help us out!

A big part of the downtown Sioux Falls rail yard relocation project has been derailed. City officials say the railroad company has killed plans that would have routed trains on a Y-Bridge over the Big Sioux River to a proposed new yard northeast of Sioux Falls.

“They are just willing to accept the fact that things are hunky-dory the way they are,” said city councilor Jim Entenman. “And they can stay the way they are and they don’t have to participate.”

You mean you just figured that out today? Wow! Where have you been the last couple of years? On a beach in Mexico? Oh, yeah, nevermind. The Railroads have been happy with the way things are for over 100 years in Sioux Falls, why change now?
