After a brief stop in Helena, a fresh MRL crew is now on board to take this high priority BNSF manifest east toward Laurel. The train departed Pasco, WA the day before and is headed toward Kansas City.

Waiting for a new crew to be called to take it west, Montana Rail Link's "LM" (Laurel to Missoula) manifest sits in the yard at Helena. All of the haze in the shot is the result of smoke being generated by over 40 forest fires in the state!

The capital of Montana! The depot in Helena, original constructed by and used by Northern Pacific, still stands and looks great. Helena is a crew change point for the Montana Rail Link, so the depot is used quite a bit by the railroad.
