We stayed the night in Whitehall Montana with sights on chasing the Bozeman local the next day, on our way over to Bozeman we discovered the ML picking up a loaded BNSF ballast train in Logan. We chased them into Bozeman where they made a crew change, in the meantime the bozeman local left light power so we stuck with the ML for the morning. With a new crew on board the ML heads east with 5 on the head end and mid train helpers as the climb up Bozeman pass!
MRL’s Essential Workers engine leads the eastbound Missoula-Laurel by the often photographed barn at Jens, MT, on the 3rd Sub.
With both the special wraps in the spot you don’t want them to be, the Eastbound MISLAU freight, with a ballast train tacked onto the head end, drops downgrade through the sweeping curve at Austin, MT.
"The line_up is a paperwork series I developed since 2010. The“liners” are made out of paper (Din A3),
oil paint and graphite, the theme is the hermetical laws of polarity and movement. There is no ending and no beginning in any direction, just an endless movement. You have the possibility to arrange the papers like you want and that makes it an endless playground for my photo-work and the eyes of the viewers."

On the eastern end of the Montana Rail Link, MRL's 2nd Sub races across broad valleys along the Yellowstone River. Here, just east of Greycliff, things are fairly flat as the ML races across open prairies on its way to Laurel.

A walk in the woods where the Trilliums grow
The birds were quiet but the wildflowers were singing. Had the wrong lens for these shots! Had to back up and back up some more!
Emerging from the tunnel under Medicine Tree Hill, MRL's ML manifest crosses the Clark Fork River and enters the siding at Nimrod on MRL's 3rd Sub.
Just to the left of the lead locomotive, behind the signal mast, is a number of bridge girders. These are from the former Milwaukee Road bridge here that was dismantled in the last several years. The MILW Pacific Extension once paralleled the former Northern Pacific from Garrison through Nimrod to Missoula.

Exiting the tunnel at Muir the ML will cruise down Bozeman Pass to Livingston where we will give up the chase that started in Helena. Once we got to West End the weather had changed so we moved back west to sunnier skies.

Looks like the 4305 has picked up a bit of road grime from the MRL's tunnels as it leads the ML road freight into Logan.

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.
