Adam Date: 10/05/15 00:51 Re: A Few from the Glacier Park area. Author: Seventyfive Last week I drove from Great Falls to Kalispell via Logan Pass and did not see that cool bridge, unless it has been repainted. Where exactly is it? I don't want to miss it again next year when I return to the area to canoe the Missouri Breaks. Thanks for the great photos, and especially nice catch with the MRL three deuces and the M-K power together.

Date: 10/05/15 07:16 Re: A Few from the Glacier Park area. Author: SantaFe9820 Yeah, I want to know about this bridge too! It's awesome!
Also, the sense of depth in that last photo is incredible. Thank you for sharing! Lincoln, Burlington Iowa Date: 10/05/15 09:09 Re: A Few from the Glacier Park area. Author: dlbowen This was taken 24 years ago so I don't know the present condition of the paint. US 2 is just on the other side of the bridge and the steps on the left lead to the east Glacier Amtrak Depot

Don, it was so nice to meet you at Izaak Walton back then. I remember our discussions! David Lehlbach Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 10/05/15 11:41 by TangentScaleModels.

I was wondering what had happened to you. Three cheers for TO. Some photo files will follow from my trip to east Java

This bridge is still in fine paint on Hwy 2. The road you were on runs east of East Glacier so you have to drive into town to see it. That's OK since there is gas, food and lodging available in town.
Posted from iPhone Date: 10/05/15 20:57 Re: A Few from the Glacier Park area. Author: czephyr17 Yes, East Glacier. You can't miss it if you stay on Highway 2 across Marias Pass (following the BNSF), but if you took the Highway 89 cutoff between Browning and St. Mary, you would miss it. The bridge is just east of the Glacier Park station depot at East Glacier. In fact the west end of the station platform crosses over this bridge.
