Streamlined Helper

Doug Harrop Photography • May 27, 1976

 

Mr. Harrop was a big fan of streamlined locomotives, in particular EMD F-units. He made several trips to northern Montana to capture BN's remaining active cab units in helper service over Marias Pass.

 

Doug was fortunate to catch this power set, added to the point of Burlington Northern train No. 172. BN F9A 808 and company are eastbound along the Middle Fork Flathead River east of Belton (West Glacier), Montana. US Highway 2 is in the background.
