From the Missoulian: "Glacier National Park officials, citing concerns about wildlife habitat, have rejected a BNSF Railway proposal to use explosives for preventing avalanches that could send snow onto railroad tracks."
The "Avalanche Hazard Reduction by Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway in Glacier National Park and Flathead National Forest Final Environmental Impact Statement" has been posted on the National Park Service (NPS) website. You can comment on the document on the NPS website.
