Montana Rail Link’s Helena switch has two cars for the lime plant at Townsend, Montana, as it drops downgrade just west of town on June 30, 2017. Led by spiffy GP9 No. 109 and recently-repainted SD40-2XR (rebuilt SD40) No. 265, the Helena switch now works to Townsend which used to be served by the now discontinued 840 local out of Helena.
Taking a look at the same train and scene as captured by different photographers. The best way to view will be to sort by photo date so the photos are grouped together.
