A couple on the MRL around Bozeman today
Author: tc

This afternoon there was this E/B train at east Bozeman waiting for a helper set to get it up the hill and they kept calling it the Pasco/ Barstow train, this is a first for me. The helper set arrived on a W/B train with a nice 2nd unit on the head end and then on the rear for helpers (I think the 290 is their oldest unit) was one of the oldest units and their newest on the roster.

The helper set gets on the rear of the Pasco Barstow and shoves up Bozman Pass

Several H PASBAR trains have been rerouted account the fires in CA.

Not the first time this has happened. Other times have been for other reasons.

Excellent stuff, brings back memories when manned helpers were common in SoCal.

Anyone know the route those BARPAS trains went?

Stockton-Sparks-Elko-SLC-Helper-Grand Junction-Denver then North?

Over Raton Pass?

I would have thought they would have gone from Laurel down the Casper Sub to Denver and down to Amarillo, then west on the Transcon.  But maybe they went to KC, depending on other factors such as crew availability, etc.
