Montana Rail Link EMD SD70ACe locomotives used in helper service over Mullan Pass accumulated a ton of grime and soot working through confining Mullan Tunnel under the Continental Divide. MRL washed these units on a nearly daily basis, as this crew from R&R Mobile Services does on brand-new No. 4305 at Helena, Montana, on October 8, 2005. Just how fast these helper sets got dirty can be seen on one coming through Austin led by No. 4305 three days before after only one trip through Mullan Tunnel!
