Montana Rail Link in February, 1997. We worked our way from Huntley over Bozeman Hill, Winston Hill and Mullan Pass, along the Clark Fork with its semaphores to the famous causeway near Sand Point. We had lots of snow, blowing around in the sunshine on Bozeman, sunshine and heavy snow on Mullan, and got out to the old Milwaukee Trestle at Lombard (what a drive on snow covered dirt roads that was). We caught just about all the power MRL has to offer including F45's, GP9's and a caboose, BN power including the new C44's in Heritage paint, and even an 11 unit lashup in heavy snow. Awesome railroad with older power in the depths of winter.

Montana Rail Link had some very interesting power at the time of this video production. From Geep 9's to SD45's.... they were put to work in the winter. Lots of interesting action in the snow and very cold weather. BNSF also using trackage rights with run throughs adds to the excitement of the winter action. Another great winter production by Highball.

Excellent program on the MRL, back when F45 Cowl's were in operation. Great scenery and camera angles plus great shots of SD35's, SD45's and even ex. WSOR F45's before being repainted.
