route (Sandpointe, Idaho to Billings, Mt) Date: 05/01/25 23:39 Re: Steam Across Montana 10/10/04 Excursion Author: hawkinsun I just went through Frenchtown the day before yesterday and years before, I saw the SP&S 700 at this same spot. It's fun chasing steam, but it can get scary at times. Lots of wild drivers. I also got to see this 4449 trip from Sandpoint, Idaho to Whitefish , Montana. I hope either of them come back someday, but I'm not holding my breath.

on then-MRL’s 4th subdivision, w/in ⅖ mi.E/b from site of former NP/BN’s Frenchtown depot (now located in Alberton as an antique shop). Recall weather improved on E/b trip, but then deteriorated rapidly for W/b the following week. |
