Creeks and rivers

            I made my return to "downtown" Huntley and was pleased to see the MRL work train still there making its last moves before going back west. There was also the next coal empty stopped short of the junction waiting its turn to head down the Big Horn Sub. This was one of the trains staged at Laurel when I passed through that morning. 

The sparkling waters of the Yellowstone shine during a break in the clouds. About 8 cars back in the train a modest bridge can be seen. It spans a humble waterway, Pryor Creek. The name caught me off guard. I knew about the Pryor Mountains to the south but they seemed far away. A brief internet rabbit role confirmed that yes, this creek did have it's origins in the Pryor Mountains, running just over 100 miles between its source and the mouth next to the MRL 1st Sub. Another one of those details that highlights the difference between aird west and the midwest. I have trouble imagining a creek covering that much distance without swelling into a river over its course. There may be examples of this in the Great Lakes region but none are coming to mind.
