3 MRL SD70ACE's assist a BNSF coal train over the continental divide at Blossburg Montana at the summit of Mullan Pass.

      Very nice! Are any SD45's still working the Pass?

      They still use 45's from time to time. We sat at Iron Ridge the night we saw you and watched a grain train crawl up with 3 ACe's in the middle and 4 45's on the tail (3 flares and a 45-2). They went back to Livingston 2 days later behind the road power on an empty coal train.

      According to what I've been told, SD45's are still being used as helpers. But, now frequently?

      :D
