Milwaukee detour train on the former NP (BN) east of Livingston, MT.

BNSF 6243 grinds thru Muir at less than jogging speed. This coal laden export train made quite a sight being dwarfed by the mighty snow capped Rockies.

BNSF 6243 stuggles on the assault for Bozeman Pass. This train of export coal has a power configuration of 2x3x2. A fantastic show of mountain railroading!

Kind of an odd pair rest outside the shop at Livingston. BNSF 6481 and 7509 have been set off by a westbound and await work in the ex NP shop.

BNSF 9205 along with 2 more SD60M's and a SD75M struggle westbound up Bozeman Pass with a coal train. The SD60M's have surely pulled a lot of coal over the course of their BN and BNSF career.
