An early BNSF train No. 15 led by Burlington Northern SD40-2 No. 7047 exits Tunnel 3.9 and is about to enter Tunnel 4, east of Belton, Montana, on October 9, 1996. The train is running along the Middle Fork of the Flathead River on the scenic western portion of the Hi Line Subdivision route over Marias Pass that parallels on the southern border of Glacier National Park.

Ford debuted their new 1949 models at a gala at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City in June 1948, with a carousel of the new Fords complemented by a revolving demonstration of the new chassis. The car was a completely new design in every aspect apart from its drivetrain with a modern ladder frame now supporting a coil spring suspension in front and longitudinal semi-elliptical springs in back. The engine was moved forward to make more room in the passenger compartment and the antiquated "torque tube" was replaced by a modern drive shaft. Ford's popular 226 CID (3.7 L) L-head straight-6 and 239 CID (3.9 L) Flathead V8 remained, now rated at 90 hp (67 kW) and 100 hp (75 kW), respectively. The new integrated steel structure was advertised as a "lifeguard body", and even the woody wagon was steel at heart. The convertible frame had an "X member" for structural rigidity.
The 1949 and 1950 styling was similar, with a single central "bullet" in the frowning chrome grille The trim lines were renamed as well, with "Standard" becoming "Deluxe" and "Custom" renamed "Custom Deluxe". The new Fords got the now-famous "Ford Crest" which appeared on the division's vehicles for many decades.
For 1951 the cars featured an optional Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission for the first time. All 1951 Fords sported a new "dual-bullet" grille and heavy chrome bumpers. This year Ford also added a new "turn-key" ignition.

Wow....nothing like being on Flathead Lake in the summer!!! I wish everyone had a chance to visit the Flathead...it's one of the busiest places in Montana...so much beauty and so much fun! I need to go over there and take a swim now that it's getting towards the end of summer it should be at it's warmest! Hope everyone is doing well today...one more day and three off! Yay! :)
Another image of Flathead River...it's quite a large river and it seems like it's so small when I look at these images!! It's the largest contributor to the Clark Fork River that you see in so many of my images. This area over here and going towards Plains and Thompson Falls has alot of rattlesnake residents! LOL Yikes!! :P Some good fishing goes on here also!
Montana's scenic Flathead river near it's junction with the Clark Fork river. I was surprised that the beautiful teal color would last this far from it's source in Glacier Park, but it did.
The Clark Fork river has the more common blue-grey color that I'm familiar with.
Just can't compare to the glacial fed rivers.
Canada and Montana have spoiled me now.
Best when Viewed LARGE On Black
MRL's Day Gas crew rolls eastbound across the 10th Subdivision as the train approaches Dixon, MT. In the background lies the Flathead River and in the distance, the Mission Mountains.
It was quite windy the day we were over here...I really enjoyed photographing the waves! They would smash against the shoreline and the highway was all wet. I'm sure if the waves timed it right, that they smashed against the vehicles driving by! Such an enjoyable day this was!! :)
The mountains found in Glacier National Park are part of the Rocky Mountains. The park is home to more than 150 mountain peaks that measure over 8,000 ft (2,438 m) situated in two mountain ranges, namely: Livingston Range and Lewis & Clark Range. The river is the Middlehead Flathead Fork
Montana Rail Link’s Polson Local heads north at M.P. 16, south of Ronan, Montana, on the morning of September 23, 2008, with the magnificent Mission Mountains providing the backdrop. Too bad the “Flathead Flyer” doesn’t operate today.
It's so neat to see the way the lake's color changes according to the color of the sky! It's one beautiful body of water...sure had my share of fun in the water over here....I'll always love this lake and plan to have more fun days here in the years ahead! Have a lovely evening everyone. Feeling better..just wish I could ditch this stupid cough!! :P Large view is better!
From internet: Flathead Lake is the largest natural freshwater lake by surface area that is west of the Mississippi River in the contiguous United States, taking Red Lake and Lake of the Woods to be north of the Mississippi River, rather than west of the river. With a surface area of between 191.5 sq mi (496 km2) and 197 sq mi (510 km2), Flathead Lake is slightly larger in surface area than Lake Tahoe, but it is much smaller in volume.
The lake is a remnant of the ancient, massive glacial dammed lake, Lake Missoula of the era of the last interglacial. Flathead Lake is 27.3 mi (43.9 km) long and up to 15.5 mi (24.9 km) wide. Flathead Lake has a maximum depth of 370.7 ft (113.0 m), and an average of 164.7 ft (50.2 m). This makes Flathead Lake deeper than the average depths of the Yellow Sea or the Persian Gulf. Polson Bay, at the lake's outlet was raised 10 ft (3.0 m) by Kerr Dam. It is one of the cleanest lakes in the populated world for its size and type.
As the sun descended in the western sky, casting its final rays over Flathead Lake in Montana, the vigorous wind whipped the surface of the water into a tumultuous frenzy, crashing waves against the shoreline. The rocky terrain along the lake's edge became illuminated by the soft glow of the setting sun, with water gently caressing the exposed rocks. Captured through a 4-minute exposure using a Maven 10-stop ND filter, this scene I captured with my Nikon Z8 portrays the dynamic interplay of light, wind, and water in this picturesque setting.
This is a single image (0 EV) taken with the Nikkor 24-120 f/4 S lens and Nikon Z8. I used a linear camera profile to edit this photo in Lightroom, with custom curves (gamma, end-points, mid-tones, and local/global tone mapping contrast) and final editing in Photoshop using Adobe Lossless RAW layers.

The Flathead National Forest is a national forest in the western part of the U.S. state of Montana. The forest covers 2,404,935 acres (3,758 sq mi) of which about 1 million acres is designated wilderness. It is named after the Flathead Native Americans who lived in the area. The forest is located in the Rocky Mountains with elevations ranging from 4,500 to 8,500 feet. The forest provides habitat for approximately 250 species of wildlife and 22 species of fish. This includes bald eagle, wolverine, beaver, elk, porcupine, cougar, moose, bobcat, white-tailed deer, coyote, grizzly bear, timber wolf two species of fox, turkey, mountain goat, Canadian lynx, woodchuck, bighorn, sheep and bull trout.
I'm still posting the Flathead River...this scene is along Hwy 200... Now I love to fish...Sam has no interest for it. I don't want to go alone but Sam would probably find something else to do and go with me. When he sees me reeling in big rainbow trout.... he might change his mind!! Oh man...4 days off...YAY!! :)
The stars of the show at the Bison Range are, of course, the bison. I did see small herds of cows and calves in the distance, plus a number of lone bulls around the reserve, peacefully enjoying the lush grasses on which they depend to fatten up for the winter lean season. The total number of bison on the range is about 300-500, depending on how many calves are born each year.
In 1908, the federal government carved 18,766 acres out of the Flathead Indian reservation for a very small bison conservation herd. Following the ensuing decades of negotiation, contracts signed and broken, purchases and sales, agreements and betrayals, and numerous legal and legislative actions, in late 2020, management of the range became a fruitful partnership between the Fish and Wildlife Service and the Confederated Kootenai and Salish Tribes (CKST) on whose land the range resides.
The range is meticulously managed to assure quality habitat for the 300-500 head of bison, plus elk, deer, pronghorns, bighorns, bears, many other small mammals, and birds, wildflowers and other native vegetation, and to maintain healthy waterways, including Mission Creek. Two loop roads and a lovely visitor center are open for public visitation for a modest fee.
This is the east shore of Flathead Lake...I was trying to capture images of the lake's vastness...
Hope everyone enjoys the weekend and has some nice weather! :)
Taken at the Fastiques Rod & Custom Car Club's Pumpkin Run Nationals car show and swap meet held at the Clermont County Fair Grounds in Owensville, Ohio.
Perhaps it has something to do with the era I grew up in, but to me, there is something very cool about these old flathead motors which makes them classics and appropriate power for hot rods.
I'm shocked....Sam took a few pics for me!!! I asked him to and he kinda shrugged me off...but wa la!!! This is a beautiful area....especially in the Fall. We were cautioned one year that there was a Rattle Snake siting by a Wildlife, Fish & Park Ranger. That had a way of making me stay away...or at least not to be out running where I can't really see what's on the ground!! 👀
