Sara Cassidy, community liaison with Colorado Midland & Pacific Railroad, met virtually with Chaffee County during the commissionerâs work session Monday. The railroad, a subsidiary of Rio Grande Pacific Corporation, recently leased the Tennessee Pass line from the Union Pacific Railroad.  Cassidy said the railroad is meeting with communities to discuss the option of setting up a commuter and local freight line. âWe want to listen and learn from these communities,â Cassidy said. âIf the need and desire is there for a commuter passenger rail line, we are looking to pursue public and private partnerships to serve these communities.â Cassidy reiterated that the railroad plans only to explore commuter and local freight traffic, not crude oil.Â
