BNSF says "no tanks" to Essex.
Author: Alco251

Looks like the GN steam-era water tank at Essex, Montana is no more. On August 16 I observed workmen cutting it up for scrap. This was the large water tank north of the Izaak Walton Inn, behind the maintenance buildings adjacent to the wye. I have no other details...does anyone? A few miles up the road, the old Snowslip Inn was getting the same treatment with a couple of Cat excavators (no photo). That place always seemed like a fire trap to me and I am wondering if we'll see a new, updated version in the coming months.
