Eastern WA MILW Line Being Resurrected?

According to this article, The Port of Royal Slope wants to lease the old Milwaukee Road right-of-way from the State of Washington, to start moving freight once more between Royal City and Othello. The project has been on the Port's books now for at least three years, but at this point they have been getting no response from the state on how to proceed.

However this pans out, it will nice to see a transportation resource like this get reused in one of the more unique parts of our state. I'll be interested in comments from our readers in Eastern WA!
