Oregon through Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington to Vancouver, 
British Columbia, Canada as a high-speed rail corridor pursuant to 
section 1010 of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 
1991 (ISTEA). As part of phase one of the long-term plan to develop 
high-speed intercity passenger service on the corridor, the Washington 
State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) proposed to improve the 
Burlington Northern Santa Fe (now BNSF) mainline between the City of 
Kelso and Martin's Bluff (south of Kalama, Washington). FHWA and FRA 
published the notice of intent to prepare an environmental impact 
statement for the Kelso-Martin's Bluff Rail Project in the Federal

project did not become available, the 2007 Washington State Legislature 
(Legislature) instructed the WSDOT to reduce the scope of the project 
to match state funding amounts. In 2008, the Legislature moved state 
project funds to the 2013-2017 biennia. As a result of these 
legislative actions, WSDOT is no longer proposing improvement to this 
rail corridor and FHWA and FRA are rescinding the notice of intent to 
prepare an environmental impact statement.
