ML at Lombard
In my previous five trips to Montana, we had never ventured down to the old settlement of Lombard. After my most recent trip, I see why. The road, while at times quite steep and narrow, has significant ruts, some giving even my high clearance Honda a run for its money. I'm still hearing some rattling under there even four months after returning (the body shop assures me that all is fine!)
In the two or so hours we spent down there, we were treated to two eastbounds, the first being the one I was hoping for: MRL's Missoula to Laurel road freight. The train is seen here along the waters of the Missouri River as it approaches the old Milwaukee Road overpass. Two of MRL's older SD70ACes lead the healthy train eastbound.
