Nov 6th 2004: Last Rockies Rail Tour
  • Morning outside of Helena.
    Old abandoned tunnel just behind the train.
  • Old abandoned(?) farm.
  • You can see the front of the train crossing the tressel bridge.
  • Near the top of the pass.
  • The front of the train enters a tunnel that is about 1 mile long.
  • View as our car is about to enter the tunnel.
  • Looking from our domed car forward.
  • Left side view from our dome.
  • Train curves around the base of a mountain.
  • Looking foward.
  • The noon sun is getting in the way but it is still a wonderful view.
  • A river runs along the tracks.
  • We are about 15 or 20 minutes out of Missoula now.
  • The train enters a short tunnel.
  • Abandoned power station once used for a send set of train tracks that are no longer there.
  • The river still is running along the tracks, or is it the tracks are running along the river?
  • 10 minutes outside of Missoula now.
  • This is the last picture I took before we arrived in Missoula.
  • After a 3 hour stay in Missoula we are back on the train and on the way to Helena. Moo!
  • The sun is getting low in the sky, making many of the pictures a bit on the dark side, but still beautiful.
  • I liked the way the light was reflecting off the mountain here.
  • The clouds in the sky were starting to take on a pinkish look as the sun began to set.
  • I like the contrast of the clouds, sky and land.
  • We are about 45 minutes out of Helena now.
  • The detail and color on several of the clouds near the sunset were wonderful.
  • The land was getting too dark to photograph, but the sky still held a lot of beauty.
  • My last photo of the sun set clouds.

Each dog and cat is guilty of failing to find a loving home; but you can make a difference. Support TNR, adopt your next pet from or support a no-kill shelter.
