The head end of this coal load has knocked down a clear signal at the east switch of Manhattan. The train is moving toward Logan and, beyond that, Lombard Canyon. Due to more than 40 forest fires burning in Montana, it is starting to get a touch hazy from drifting smoke!

This being my first trip (ever) to Montana, I was a little surprised by the amount of farm land! But there was a lot of it. One such farm resides along MRL's 2nd Subdivision just east of Manhattan. And, on this Friday evening, it is watering time! A BNSF coal load passes quickly by, moving at about 45 MPH, on its journey west.

For my first trip to visit Montana Rail Link, I invited my dad to come along with me. He is the reason that I love both trains and photography. I have many fond memories of train chasing with him both along the Moffat and the Joint Line. Memories include our car breaking down on a snowy night along I-25, and the battery in his motorcycle dying in Colorado Springs. Fortunately, we didn't have any troubles while making new memories here in Montana.

This BNSF coal train is moving along at 45 MPH on the single track main east of Manhattan, MT. A bit smaller than the Manhattan in New York, this Manhattan has a population just over 1,500!
