Photo ID: 105468 Date Shot Photo By Thursday, August 13, 2015 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed East Laurel Laurel, MT 2017 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad 1st Subdivision (MRL) Montana Rail Link, BNSF The last crew on this coal train tied the train down on Main 1 just east of MRL's Laurel Yard. Laurel's 1700 Utility Crew (called as such because they went on duty at 5pm) is now on the train and will take it in to the yard. There is an 500 (on duty at 5am) as well. These crews basically go around the yard and move trains and power around as needed. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Since then, it has been merged or sold to Seaboard System Lines 8941, CSX 8941, VMV 8941, MRL 8941 and IMRL 8941 before finally returning to MRL! At the time of this photos, it was also the highest numbered unit on MRL's roster. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
