MRL 4403 EMD SD70ACe - Bozeman
After detaching from the westbound train that they just helped over Bozeman Pass, the MRL helper set consisting of two SD70ACe's and a SD40-2XR have coupled onto a eastbound train for the run back to Livingston.
Looking back at our MRL trip, this was probably the best day on Bozeman Pass that we could ask for. We got an amazing mix of weather conditions, ranging from sunny blue skies in Bozeman, to almost blizzard conditions in the pass. Almost all run through trains had helpers stay on for the ascent and descent of the pass, something that we learned later was not the norm. We got almost everything we could have wanted shot wise from this trip, but I think a round 2 is in store...
Anyways, Merry Christmas all!
