A taste of Montana Steam
Author: funnelfan

A friend and myself chased the 4449 from Noxon to Helena, Montana after spending Friday and Saturday at Alta-Mont in Essex, Montana. Here are a few pics from the trip. Crisp clear air on Monday Morning set the stage for some truly spetacular photos.

This first pic is at Bearmouth Canyon west of Drummond, MT.

Mt. St. Helens has some real competition as illustrated by the 4449 leaving Garrison, MT.

Ted, great stuff, as usual. Having just returned home from chasing 4449 through your territory, and never having seen it before, I'm jealous. What wonderful scenery all along the route. I thank you very much for your help with directions to find great photo ops. Hope mine are half as good as yours. MRL ROCKS!

Thanks, Ted. I'm sitting in a motel room in Helena right now with John Shaw. We hope to do half as well as you have when we follow her west in a few days. Great pics!
