Light check! |
| Description: |
Pulling late evening duty, MRL 4300's helper set has hooked up to a covered hopper which it will shortly be pushing westward. Possibly the engineer need a bit of light to check all the connections??? -I was passing by at the right moment and had to get a quick grab shot first...As I was resetting my camera for a better photo, alas...lights out!!! -this dazzling scene was no more..... |

Matched set |
| Description: |
MRL's 4401 & 4400 make a capable pair handling this afternoon ML west into Livingston. A note here, the background hill just above 4400's cab forms the backdrop for the previous light helper shots. That view can be seen from roughly about where the truck stop is and a bit further west. That truck stop [Yellowstone] also has great diner seat views of all the action here! |
