A forlorn Northern Pacific telegraph pole and the abandoned right-of-way of the once mighty Milwaukee Road serve as ghostly apparitions of Southwest Montana's rich railroad history — meanwhile, a pair of endangered Montana Rail Link EMD's accelerate across the causeway at Sappington, MT., on the now BNSF (formerly MRL 5th Subdivision) with a five-car train for Logan. On the railroad, the only constant is change.

An attractive post-acquisition pair of EMDs have the throttle in the company notch as they absolutely tear through Toston, Montana, with an evening H-LAUMIS on what is now the MRL Subdivision of BNSF’s Montana Division (formerly MRL’s 2nd Subdivision).
