It’s a complicated history. Goes back to the Teapot Dome scandal. The railroad was built to Fairbanks and by total coincidence ended there when Teapot Dome broke. FedGov still has that Teapot Dome thing in the back of its alleged mind every time oil on Fed land is involved. Prudhoe Bay is on State land. Teapot Dome was also a Naval Petroleum Reserve.
Well, I’ll go study what’s out there on line.
Thanks
There is work underway per Presidential directive to Department of Interior that is acting through the BLM.

The work apparently is not satisfactory to certain enviros who are apparently holding it up.
Perhaps you were not or did not read my previous reply . I stated oddly enough we do not have unbranded stations around here. Years ago we did but now in order to find one you have to look real hard they are few and far between.
