Western Railroad Discussion > GN 441 at Essex, MontanaDate: 07/01/15 20:32 GN 441 at Essex, Montana Author: JFArrFan Former Great Northern F-45 441 is seen early in the afternoon of June 23, 2015 at Essex, Montana. Plinthed, this former locomotive is now a satellite bunkhouse, complete with air conditioning and TV, for the Izaak Walton Inn, seen in the background.
The Izaak Walton is a delightful place to stay. Jonathan Fischer West Seattle, WA  Date: 07/01/15 20:36 Re: GN 441 at Essex, Montana Author: ddg Love the place, stayed there last August on a motorcycle trip to Glacier Park.

Date: 07/02/15 16:00 Re: GN 441 at Essex, Montana Author: ddg It is pricey, but the worst part is the two day minimum. I just couldn't stay two nights, I was on a schedule traveling with others. (Besides, I've slept on it before when it was still in Santa Fe service).
