    Of the ex-GN line from Great Falls, thru Helena, to Butte, MT?
    Any books?

    Am not a member, but recall a GNHS magazine article. It was a few years ago. A friend gave me that issue. I've long since passed it along.... Nothing else comes into mind right now.

    :sad:

    Such a scenic area.. Prolly none too accessible before I-15 came thru there. Plenty of tunnels (did I hear TUNNELS?!? :D), cuts, bridges, curvature out the wazoo. Just my kind of line! It is presently out of service, washed out somewhere south of Cascade, MT.

    I do also recall seeing pictures on the web, of the line at present. Taken the past few years. Not sure how you'd search for them. But a few railfans have explored there.

    :confused:

    Unfortunately, no. They may have been links to one of the RR photo album sites. It's been a few years.

    Anyone know where the ROW on the GF-Helena portion is washed out? I am tempted to hike it, but that's a big hike. Even from Cascade to Craig. That's still like 20 miles. Would be good exercise!
