The US House today gave final congressional approval to a package of more than 60 public lands and territories bills that includes a couple of measures affecting Alaska. That measure authorizes a land exchange inside Denali so the Alaska Railroad can build a turnaround. The turnaround will make train traffic to the south and north of the park more efficient. The state legislature will have to take some action to finalize the plan.
