Old habits |
| Description: |
You gotta be real careful along the right of way and I find my old Pennsy brakeman instincts servd me well over the years insofar as keeping alert. The old electric motors were silent and could creep up on you with little warning; and newer diesels are so well muffled that they may also sneak up upon one. Traffic moves briskly and relatively silently through the narrows between Mifflin and Lewistown. The slope of Shade*Mountain has allowed the setting sun to illuminate the depths of the gorge at Hawstone as NS 7500 races west with empty hoppers - scattering the leaves. |

A photographic cliche |
| Description: |
It is a well visited location - for obvious reasons; and the snowless peaks lessen the dramatic appeal. BNSF 756 heads over Two Medicine viaduct between East Glacier and Spotted Robe along US 2. |

Good Juju |
| Description: |
I was goofing off, sipping coffee and enjoying the exhilarating Montana air while packing the bike in the morning when this outfit came rambling through the pines west of Essex. There was an MW gang waiting to get on after Amtrak so I hurriedly packed and headed east on US 2, hoping the train would stop for helpers at Essex. It did, thus allowing me to follow the train up Marias Pass. Here BNSF 756, decidedly outside of traditional warbonnet territory, is resplendent amongst the tall pines. |
