MRL 109 - Helena Switch - To Montana City

Helena Switch arrives at Montana City with empties for the Ashgrove Cement plant.

Built in 1955 for the NP, and still doing the kind of work the GP-9 was intended.


A good view south down the Prickly Pear Creek valley. End of track is visible about 200 yards past the loco.

Backing into the plant which is served by a Trackmobile.




Plant spot done, it's time to pick up the loads, but that will have to wait for another post.

Google Maps view of the area:

  2. Some really nice shots of the MRL 109 switching the cement plant. Have been to see this plant several times, but never was lucky to see it being switched. Thanks!
