The Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) is seeking public feedback on its draft statewide rail plan (SRP) update, which is available to view and submit comments on through Jan. 31, 2026.
WYDOT last week launched an online, self-guided and interactive meeting platform on which the public can review the draft SRP and leave feedback, said WYDOT officials in a press release.
The draft SRP provides an overview of the state's existing freight- and passenger-rail networks, identifies the state's future rail service needs and analyzes proposed improvement projects, including grade crossing safety upgrades.
Feedback will be implemented into the next iteration of the SRP. Once finalized in spring 2026, the SRP will serve as a planning document for future Wyoming rail infrastructure and as the basis for federal and state grant funding opportunities, WYDOT officials said.
Wyoming is primarily served by BNSF Railway and Union Pacific Railroad. Two short lines and a switching railroad also operate in the state. Wyoming also is one of just two lower 48 states not served by Amtrak's national passenger-rail network.
