Somebody’s gonna have to move… Maintenance-of-way is done for the day and tucked into the short house track. Now the bunched-up traffic is moving again in Montana’s Lombard Canyon on June 17, 2014. While two BNSF coal trains meet at Lombard siding, MRL’s Helena local slowly proceeds eastbound. A coal load has just arrived in the siding—while an empty coal train, with lone DPU Dash 9 warbonnet No. 730 on the rear, is just departing eastbound—with the local following closely on the main.
