You’re Invited! Meet with the Four Corners Freight Rail Study Team (8/21 & 8/22)

San Juan County, the Navajo Nation, and the Federal Railroad Administration are studying the economic feasibility of freight rail service to the Four Corners region. The addition of this service could reduce commercial traffic, decrease the potential for traffic crashes, and open the doors to economic opportunity.

The Four Corners Freight Rail Study Team invites you to participate in the third round of in-person public meetings on Wednesday, August 21, and Thursday, August 22, 2024. The purpose of these meetings is to review the potential route alignments and provide updates on the study team’s progress. Your feedback is important and will be taken into consideration for the development of freight rail service in this area.
