Montana Rail Link Livingston & Billings area Three more questions
Author: frankgaron3

Hi All:

Three more questions please:

How many trains a day on average between Bozeman, Livingston, Laurel and Billings? Are there certain times typically busier than others? And what is the typical mix between Montana rail link and BNSF trains?

Thanks to all who took the time to answer my questions. I really appreciate it!

Frank

There is an MRL local east out of Billings to the refineries. There is an MRL transfer between Laurel and Billings. There are the MRL trains LM/ML (Laurel-Missoula/Missoula-Laurel) west of Laurel. Everything else will be a BNSF train with BNSF or foreign run through power.

There will likely be more than 20 trains any day but some will be after dark. You can take photos as late as 9:00 pm this time of the year.

There is commonly two or three trains in the afternoon departing the west end of Laurel yard headed south on the way to Greybull, WY. Nice light.
