A section of this mountain town, with Republic Mountain in the background.
Cooke City is one of the entrances to Yellowstone National Park. It is perhaps most famous for the road that connects Cooke City with Red Lodge. Called "the most scenic drive in America", the Beartooth Pass on U.S. Highway 212 has dramatic switchbacks traversing the spectacular Beartooth Range. Surrounded by national forest, wilderness and Yellowstone National Park, the area is an outdoor recreationist's dream. visitmt.com
Approximately 150 people reside here year round but lots of tourists heading for Beartooth Pass and Yellowstone pass thru. Tourist keep the town busy all year. Famous too for it's snowmobiling as they enjoy lots of snow each year.
Thanks for taking a look!
After being held in Bellevue overnight and combined with another empty coal train, doubling in size, NS 776 rolls passed Cooke Road on its way south. Two minutes before the train got to me, the clouds covered the area and as soon as the headlight appeared the sun illuminated the rails and allowed for some beautiful light.
These ten enormous blades on Rotary Snowplow #1 cleared up to 12 feet of snow. It was built by the Cooke Locomotive and Machinery Company for the White Pass & Yukon Route railroad in 1898. Although it was retired and put on display next to the Skagway depot in 1965, it has been called back to service twice: the most notable occasion was when Skagway had a record snowfall of 126 inches in November of 2011.
With a pair of former Conrail SD60s leading the way, train G010 glides over the Thornapple River. Got lucky with the sun for this one, it had been cloud covered only a few seconds prior!

Thank you for taken your time to visit me, comments or faves are always much appreciated!
The St. Louis River was running high due to heavy rains. Dam gates were open to lower the reservoirs. High water and a red sky created a dramatic scene at the Swinging Bridge in Jay Cooke State Park.
The fox head....
No photoshop enhancement. This is the true color. You can't
believe it standing there looking at it. Amazing.

I had a couple of hours to kill so it seemed like a perfect time to take the little Argus 40 out on a morning drive through the nearby countryside to see what it could do. Frankly I am surprised by the images the 75mm Varex lens on this camera can produce. It is said this is a Cooke triplet design lens.
While this camera is a zone focusing camera, Argus marked a "hyperfocal" distance and f/stop combination lettering in red on the lens. Set at 25 feet at f/8, or a smaller aperture setting, everything from 12' to infinity will be in focus. I used this distance setting at f/11 for all of these images @ 1/100th second.

CSX 2384 leads a short Y222 north past the NYC tri-lights at Cooke Rd., north of Columbus, OH. Aside from Q123, this is the only other regularly scheduled train to traverse the "Burt Line". It would've been nice if the sun came out for this one. Next time...
After catastrophic failure the Cooke Kinic had to be stripped completely. After removing 60 years of dust and cleaning up the helicoid threads it reassembled rather easily and is now smooth as silk, much better than it was before as the problem that led to its downfall must have been there before I got it.

Sam Cooke's music remains fresh over forty years since his untimely death in 1964. His life is the subject of a new biography written by his nephew.

We had travelled down the Chief Joseph Scenic Byway after turning off the Beartooth Highway to Cody for a few days although I've elected not to upload the Cody images at this time.
Our return up the Chief Joseph Byway brought us back to the Beartooth Highway which we then followed with the Clark Fork of the Yellowstone River visible along the route from the road. The impressive peaks of the Absaroka Range formed the backdrop as we headed for the North East Entrance to Yellowstone National Park at Cooke City and Silver Gate. .
This image was taken from a spot with a good view of the Clark Fork River.
After a brief stop in Cooke City and Silver Gate, both in Montana, we headed down the North East Entrance Road and back into Wyoming to Mammoth Hot Springs before driving back into Montana again to our accommodation in Gardiner.

Skagway, Alaska.
The White Pass Railroad receives significant snowfall. Snowplow No.1, built in 1899, was pushed forward by two locomotives coupled behind the plow.
Imagine the raw power and deafening roar of a 129-ton rotary snowplow as its circular blades carved through deep snow drifts as high as 12 feet.
Here's something a little different from the archive.
A long time Flickr pal Mark Evans recently uploaded a picture of a Kaiser motor which he took in a motor museum in Florida. I couldn't recall the brand but thought somewhere I had a picture of one. This old wrecks which I cam er across in Cooke City Montana back in 2005 I believe is a Kaiser Frazer from between 1947 and 1951. I think it is the same car manufacturer.
Old abandoned cars in America seem to remain that way. Fingers crossed since my visit in 2005 someone will have given this old wreck a little TLC.
A second view of GMAM R5, looking south with Cooke 3 shaft in the background. If the line here is closed, so presumably is this mine?
At the time of our visit it was estimated that the gold content in each train had a value of one million US Dollars. Unfortunately it was embedded within another thousand plus tons of rock and spoil, making a quick heist somewhat difficult!
