The morning of June 18th we were headed east towards that nights stay near Whitehall. We were planning on seeing the Day Gas, but that didn't run, so we fled east to Jens to catch up to the Missoula to Laurel manifest. We checked a goal off the list for the trip here, finally getting an MRL train with the iconic barn.

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.
On the HO scale Onondaga Cutoff, autorack train ML-481 comes east through CP280 at Onondaga, NY, out of a summer thunderstorm.
With the helpers tied on to the rear of the train the ML is making short work of the west side of Bozeman Pass.
What a gorgeous morning to be in Montana chasing blue power. Of course the first car had to be one that's been visited by a bunch of assholes with spray cans.

Those who have scuba dived understand. Those who haven't can only imagine. Those who jump from imagination to memory need not be brave; they must only be cautiously curious.
