1407 East ? - Winston Hill Helper

Spokane-Kansas City train arrives Helena




Unmanned point helper added in the yard.


Up and around the big curve at East Helena, with the smelter tailings, and Mt. Helena prominent in the background.

Sitting at the Helena depot, I heard Helena Yard call the 1407 East.  1407 ? - couldn't place the number. Then a headlight to the west, and is that really green I'm seeing?  A three-window SD60M in 2015, amazing!  Thoughts of getting it on the point over Winston Hill were soon dashed, though, with the addition of a point helper. This Spokane train was pretty large, and had been helped over Mullan with  ACES.
