Glen, Montana - a photo on Flickriver

Glen, Montana

            Union Pacific's incredibly beautiful Montana Subdivision is one of the most remote, yet underappreciated parts of their system. Beginning from the operating hub of Pocatello, Idaho, the railroad runs along the eastern portion of the Snake River Plain before negotiating two crossings of the continental divide and arriving in Silver Bow, Montana. Idaho Falls serves as the hub for all the local freights operating over the line while crews based out of Pocatello and Dillon operate the thrice weekly road train along the entire length of the subdivision.

July 5th’s edition of the MSBPC is depicted here traveling through the lush and green summer scenery on the steep climb upgrade between Glen and Apex on a sunny July evening. The spiffy blue MRL gondolas on the head end are loaded with copper concentrate from Montana Resources in Butte. This open pit copper mining operation is owned by the Washington Group and served by the Butte Anaconda & Pacific as their only carload customer. These cars along with Autoracks and traffic from BNSF make up this day's southbound train for Pocatello.
