1Opinion of the CourtJustice Harrison

Plaintiffs appeal the denial of their application for a preliminary injunction entered by the District Court of the Thirteenth Judicial District in and for Yellowstone County. We affirm.

Plaintiffs (the “Morledges”) initiated this action to challenge the *152issuance of a building permit issued by Yellowstone County to the Burlington Northern Railroad. The permit was issued on February 6, 1986, and authorized construction of a 35,000 barrel diesel tank and excavation and site work for an accompanying retaining dike. The Morledges own land adjacent to the location of the fuel tank.
