I've enjoyed all of the pictures Bruce Black took - but his Milwaukee Road shots are exceptional.
Thanks for scanning them.

As an FYI Willow Creek is 8 miles southwest of Three Forks.  The ex-NP "passenger main" is just out of sight to the left...the head end of the work train is facing northeast.  The consist was E29A, E36C, E29B.  

I'm sure Bruce shot multiple slides of the work train from different angles.  Looks like he had excellent weather that day

There is a steak house in town owned by the local ranchers wives who serve prime beef fresh off the ranch. You likely cannot find better meat anywhere and i don't think you find any cut priced at $40.

That is an excellent plus photo!
The MILW electrification is something I would have loved to have seen firsthand.

You had to drive a ways to get there, you might be lucky enough to live there or you could be blessed to work with them. Last was the best.
