MQIX M3 & K953
Title:  MQIX M3 & K953
Description:  I would have loved to see the original p[aint scheme on these units. At this time, I believe the quarry was still under the ownership of Millville Quarry, Inc, before being sold tk Bardon Industries, a part of Aggregate Industries.

MQIX M3
Title:  MQIX M3
Description:  Obviously, these are some of my earlier shots, and aren't all that great. Neither was the camera, lol. Looks like you can see the old number on there, which looks like a 6570, but this is supposed to be the 6532, but, it's hard to tell in these pictures.

Probably the last LRC unit
Title:  Probably the last LRC unit
Description:  Even though the lettering is scratched off, the LRC (Livingston Rebuild Center) lettering is still fairly visible on this unnumbered 40-some ton GE. I presume it was the shop switcher back when LRC owned the buildings at Livingston. They are MRL's now.

MRL Helena Switch
Title:  MRL Helena Switch
Description:  As we were about to head into town, we heard the Helena Switch wanting to go to Montana City. I was always curious when/if they went down there, and you can see that they still do to service the compact Ash Grove Cement plant there. A BN hopper of coal and 4 empty MRL "jimmies" (a term from my first railroad to describe cement cars)

MRL Helena Switch
Title:  MRL Helena Switch
Description:  I fell in love with the MRL after seeing the "Trains" article on it right after they started up. In a sea of Lions Head units, and the latest "image" which is terrible, it is refreshing to see a unit in the original scheme with the original logo. The line to Montana City passes throungh an interesting gulch and the sun decided it would make an appearance for us.

MRL Helena Switch
Title:  MRL Helena Switch
Description:  I'm sure there is more to it than what we see, but this is certainly one of the smallest cement plants I've ever seen! The one that I used to switch when I worked for the Maryland Midland was quite large. Here the Helena Swiotch is backing their train in to the plant. Their outbound cars are over next to the mainline, presumably placed there by Ash Grove's trackmobile (or switcher?)
