Lost Rail: Far from Home, but not Forgotten
http://r67northern.blogspot.com/2015/07/far-from-home-but-not-forgotten.html
The Cold Wind of What Was Left Behind. Sunday, July 19, 2015. Far from Home, but not Forgotten. In years past it was easy to spot the fading yellow hopper cars or boxcars that still proclaimed, "America's Resourceful Railroad" as they meandered North American rails. Some were subject to the occasional over-painting that covered the slogan or even the name of the old railroad itself. Still, to the careful observer, the Milwaukee cars were an interesting and notable addition to any train rolling by. Thats ...

The Cold Wind of What Was Left Behind. Friday, November 21, 2014. Appearing from the Shadows. What if" is a dangerous question to ask, but perhaps this scene is just a little too quiet? Ben Wood - Everson, WA said. Ben, thanks for the thoughts as always. These old towns you mention would be decidedly different today, Happy thanksgiving to you and everyone out there.

Lost Rail: These Things Remain
http://r67northern.blogspot.com/2014/07/these-things-remain.html
The Cold Wind of What Was Left Behind. Thursday, July 10, 2014. Leaving the small outpost of Ringling, the Resourceful Railroad travels through large tracts of private ranch land where visitation can be difficult. In the midst of these wanderings, the railroad runs through infamous locations like "Eagle's Nest". Thought you might be interested to see the NMD as of a week ago. My tour is here.

Lost Rail: By the Shores of 16 Mile Creek
http://r67northern.blogspot.com/2015/05/by-shores-of-16-mile-creek.html
The Cold Wind of What Was Left Behind. Sunday, May 24, 2015. By the Shores of 16 Mile Creek. Further east than the Yellowstone and more imposing than the Missouri, the Milwaukee started its journey west along the shores of a vast lake. How different from where we find the Milwaukee's mainline here. See comments, edited from D-D. Pat, Marcus and Alexis. Montana and the Milwaukee Road Electric lines: A great combination, for me at least. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). By the Shores of 16 Mile Creek.

Lost Rail: Requiem for a Time and Place
http://r67northern.blogspot.com/2015/08/requiem-for-time-and-place.html
The Cold Wind of What Was Left Behind. Tuesday, August 04, 2015. Requiem for a Time and Place. Between Maudlow at MP 1417 and Lombard at MP 1430 the railroad winds its way every closer to the Missouri River headwaters. The Belt Mountains pay it company as do old names with no places like Deer Park and Cardinal. The ghost town of Maudlow is the gateway to these last few miles through this mountain range, and it is here that we turn south just for a time to meet the railroad further west. Cardinal is a lon...

Lost Rail: A few more personal favorites
http://r67northern.blogspot.com/2015/03/a-few-more-personal-favorites.html
The Cold Wind of What Was Left Behind. Thursday, March 26, 2015. A few more personal favorites. There are a few pictures that didn't make the " Railfan Five Challenge. That I thought would be nice to share nonetheless. In my quest to find 5 pictures for the 'Challenge,' I unconvered these as well. Though time has compressed these events and days into a blur, there was a time, many years ago, when a young man just wandered with a few trusty companions: an old Pentax LX,. Velvia film, and the Lord. CN 6104...

Lost Rail: Fallen
http://r67northern.blogspot.com/2014/09/fallen.html
The Cold Wind of What Was Left Behind. Saturday, September 27, 2014. This is the American West in many respects: isolated, alone, dangerous, and indescribably beautiful. On this June day, in a picture now well dated, the little road from Maudlow continues to survive and meander its way from one small settlement to the next. If there are specific times or places where one can fall in love with the West, this must be one of them for me. Ps - Speaking of the West, the new book from Big Bend. The Blue Mounta...

Lost Rail: Doorways
http://r67northern.blogspot.com/2015/02/doorways.html
The Cold Wind of What Was Left Behind. Sunday, February 08, 2015. Today the canyon and the old railroad through it are likely best known for fly fishing. Fishermen can be seen gracefully placing their flies in and amongst the eddies and pools that dot the flowing stream. Instead of Thunderhawk freight trains, bridges like the one above play host to rubber waders and fishing tackle - especially in beautiful Montana summer weather.
