We stumbled upon the ML grinding up Mullan outside of Elliston on our way to Helena, beautiful sun and fall colors on the pass added to the scene!
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."

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.
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.

Credit to Zach for picking this spot out. We saw this guy heading out of the sunset and into darkness the evening prior and assumed it was long gone, but upon arrival in Logan in the morning found them about to swap crews for a nicely lit run up the pass!
