The 844 local switches out the Imerys Talc America plant in Three Forks. As cool as it was to see Montana Rail Link for the first time, these two engines have an extra special meaning to me as they were originally Rio Grande GP35s! MRL 403 started life as DRGW 3039. Great to see it well maintained and still working hard in 2015 on a fantastic (mountain) railroad.
