MRL/BNSF C-EBMSPB0-26A assaults Winston Hill
Title:  MRL/BNSF C-EBMSPB0-26A assaults Winston Hill
Description:  The only real challenge between Bozeman and Helena is Winston Hill, located just west of Townsend. Loaded coal trains, Boardman trains particularly, encounter this hill with less-than-stellar performance. 12,000HP of SD70MACs have been on the assault for 20 minutes now, and the much lighter 840 Local is rapidly gaining ground....

MRL/BNSF C-EBMSPB0-26A assaults Winston Hill
Title:  MRL/BNSF C-EBMSPB0-26A assaults Winston Hill
Description:  You can't see it in this photo, but the 840 Local is following behind at Restricted Speed. The coal train is moving so slow at this point, I was able to walk faster than they were rolling!

MRL/BNSF C-EBMSPB0-26A DPU and R-MRL8401-11A
Title:  MRL/BNSF C-EBMSPB0-26A DPU and R-MRL8401-11A
Description:  As I previously stated, the coal was going so slow, the "Helena Rocket" (my name for the 840) was able to catch up and follow behind at Restricted Speed.

Title:  MRL/BNSF C-EBMSPB0-26A DPU and R-MRL8401-11A
Description:  I don't think the Helens Rocket's crew expected to see railfans here as I noticed they increased their distance from the DPU a bit.
