    Great Falls, MT today featured a heavy grain train with 6 all second-gen EMD units, westbound near the east side of town, and over the Missouri River at Rainbow Bridge:

    Love the sky as a background.

    So, where to this weekend? Back to Mullan? North to the old High Line? Or?

    :D

    Unsure--gotta watch funds...
    Glad you liked it! The thunderous roar of all those EMD 645's was a treat!!!! Apparently, there's a decent grade into GF from the east...
    No, I didn't miss the train, I simply saw the train, and the power sitting at Giant Springs road, the power apparently had fueled, or recrewed at GF, and returned to its train, sitting on the east side of town. The train backed down to the bridge for some reason, and then proceeded westbound. What a show!

    How many white face units are still out there? Seems like I don't see them for a while. Then a couple show up. Then it's a while before I see any again.

    Hard to tell, thay are harder to come by. Shoot, an all-EMD lashup is reason enough to capture an image!
