Grinding up Mullan

A pair of BNSF GEVOs crawl up to Skyline Trestle with a loaded crude oil train. Halfway back are four MRL SD70s, and another GEVO is shoving on the rear. Everything in notch eight, sanders blasting, assaulting the senses. Real railroading might not be dead yet.

 

This is stepping out of my comfort zone, so if you think it sucks, I guess it probably does. All I know is that for a few moments on a crisp and breezy Montana morning, I was able to take it all in and forget about life. The hike was worth it.
