Western Railroad Discussion > MRL west of HelenaDate: 08/06/22 06:03 MRL west of Helena Author: drsilverstreak Put on MRL last couple of days. We saw quite a few trains on Bozeman including several coal trains. Thing is we have seen very few westbound west of Helena. Where are the westbound going?

During the early afternoon it's not uncommon to see the Helena Yards nearly empty. But after five or six in the evening, things start moving. Dano Helena |
