Western Railroading Series: Montana Rail Link & BNSF Trains Tackle The Grades of Bozeman Pass

5/22/22:

In this episode of the Western Railroading Series, we will follow Montana Rail Link's mainline from outside of Billings west to Bozeman with a particular emphasis on the mountainous stretch of track known as Bozeman Pass. With a 1.8% Grade, trains require manned Montana Rail Link helpers to tackle the slope. With BNSF's pending purchase of the Montana Rail Link, scenes like the ones seen in this video will likely not be around for much longer. Enjoy the sounds of BNSF GE & MRL EMD Locomotives giving everything they have to keep trains moving through the mountains.
