TODAY'S PHOTO
This is the Mission Mountain Railroad that took over part of the old
original GN mainline trackage from BNSF between Eureka and Stryker, MT. It
is a remote control operation and you can see the "engineer/conductor/brakeman/remote operator" (one person) standing on the
ground operating the train. They haul mostly forest products that are
trucked into Eureka from Canada down to Stryker for interchange with the
BNSF. Mission Mountain RR is a Watco Company.
