While thunder storms brew over the Clark Fork, power for Montana Western's Butte-Garrison turn rambles through the Montana Rail Link (Burlington Northern) interchange yard at Garrison. EMD GP7/GP9 units 103, 107, 104, and 105 were built by EMD for the Butte Anaconda & Pacific Railway between 1953-1957. The Montana Western Railway leased 52 miles of Burlington Northern track (ex-Northern Pacific) between Butte and Garrison beginning in Sept. 1986. Train operations on the line returned to the owner, BNSF Railway in July 2003.
From a hint of "Bee" (NKP 765), colorful "Bees" (KCS), "Bees" w/ "attitude", to "Bees" that "sting" your eyes, in their own way they have "Bee" on display! Equipment that "Buzzes" with Yellow & Black colors! ("Bees" can still "Bee" entering this "hive"!)
