MRL on Mullen Pass

Caught a couple of westbounds climbing out of Helena. Wind was so bad I had to stay behind an equipment shed while filming.

Welcome back as your videos have been missed badly by me and the rest of your friends Dave. Great catch on the engine you elected to run as your first in a while. Man - you coming back has made my year. No one does a better job than you. Very relaxing.

Thank you.

[@danielcourt5489]

Welcome back! Glad my train addiction can be fed again by the best! I’m not familiar with Mullen Pass. Cheers!

[@PacificNWRailfan]

Thank you. It's on MRL's mainline where it crosses the Continental Divide just east of Helena Montana. The westbound ruling grade is 2.2%. Since the time I videoed this, MRL has handed their lease of their rail line back to BNSF

[@danielcourt5489]

Seems like a busy route… between this and the High Line lots of goods moving around which is always a good thing. 🚂
