A westbound manifest grinds it's way up the east slope of Mullan Pass in July of 2005 at Birdseye, MT. This was the one time jct of the NP Marysville Branch.

Wow, and an MRL SD45 trailing as an unmanned helper.

Clough Jct. is where the the Marysville line went north (your photo location). Birdseye is back towards the rear of this train. Mr J.B. Clough was an early NP engineering feller.

While I knew Birdseye was the siding near where the rear of the train is, didn't realize the junction had a different name. Thanks for the Clarification.
