Jimbo Works The Line

MRL Jimbo Local works at East Austin, Montana on Friday the 13th.

Completely unblemished welded caboose 1007

Still at home, sort of, ordered by that next transcon to the north.

Jimbo himself,  a versatile little crawler.



Back in Helena, dispatcher said the Jimbo cars were going to head west on the LM.



Known on the radio, as either the Jimbo Local, or just Jimbo, I see this train quite often in Helena, but usually with an SD40 for power. Yesterday the train was working up at Austin with the big 290.

  1. What a great train to model. How far back in time does Jimbo go?

  2. Chris,

    Looking at this page: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/rsPicture.aspx?id=227110, there are pictures of the Jimbo local going back to 2007.
