Nearing the bottom of Bozeman Pass, this BNSF manifest is approaching the O'Rea Creek Road grade crossing. Because this is a high priority manifest for BNSF, Montana Rail Link is keeping it moving quickly across its system.

At first glance, you may think this coal train is coming toward the photographer. You might also notice that the headlights on MRL 290 are on dim. These three MRL units are actually manned helpers pushing hard on this coal train, which is climbing Bozeman Pass. The coal train is running in a 3x(0)x4 configuration. Once at the top of the pass, the three MRL units will cut off the train and return to Livingston Yard.

Light helpers approach O'Rea Creek Road from the west, descending down the east side of Bozeman Pass. These helpers are based out of Livingston Yard and are used to help shove heavy train up the 1.8% grades of Bozeman.
