I am after a BN route map for the Montana area in the late 1970's, does anyone know where I can find one?
Other than ebay, I dunno. I would like to have one myself. Are you looking for spacific station names, locations, etc? I have a BN ETT, but I'm not sure of the date. It might be of use...
I picked some up at the Colorado Railroad Museum, but I don't recall the dates on them, although I seem to think it was early 80's. I don't remember if I bought Montana or not, but I know they had 'em.
I've been looking through a few boxes. Thought I had one. Somewhere... But nothing is turning up, so far. Was there something specific you needed to know? I have a person I could ask in the next day or so. Boxcab E50 Montana type person.
The Steve Glischinski book "Burlington Northern and it Heritage" has a map of the Montana Division on page 133. It shows everything the BN ever ran on, including abandonment dates. 1970 to 1992. All divisions have similar maps.
Sorry for not getting back to this sooner. That book sounds perfect, I wuld like to know which lines was abandoned as my freelance Montana Central could have picked some of them up. Just need to find someone who has it over here in the UK.....
