Montana is a great place to trace the footprints of the Milwaukee Road. The depot seen here sits along the river, it's tracks now a pedestrian walk. Built in 1910, the depot was used as a passenger terminal through 1960 and then freight department offices until it closed permanently in the late 1970’s. Today it sits beautifully restored thanks to the efforts of the Boone and Crockett Club.
A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)
Oh the stories these special buildings could tell. Originally the brains of the rails they monitored, working to insure effecient rail service for our nation! A tribute!
