Serendipitous Gas
Montana Rail Link's Gas Local, between Missoula and Thompson Falls, typically runs the 10th Sub between Missoula and Paradise as it is a more direct route across the state. On occasion, the train will take the more circuitous 4th Sub if traffic or track work is present. As we were heading back east toward Missoula, we spent a night in St. Regis, opting to pick a spot on the 4th Sub one evening and see what showed up. Surprisingly, the only train we saw was the Gas Local, pictured here just outside town with MRL 4407, the Veterans wrapped SD70ACe, leading.
