MONTANA RAIL LINK FORUM

  • Just wondering how everyone feels about one of my favorite railrads.

    The MRL might not be a class one, but it rocks!

    LONG LIVE THEIR 645s !(SD/F45s)

  • Yeah, I like 'em a bit.

  • I like them.
  • MRL's great. Can't wait for Tower 55 ACe's painted for MRL. I might have to buy some just for kicks and giggles.
  • Those ACES are a big step for the MRL

    Too bad they will replace a few SD45s, my favorite lcomotives
  • Yes, I like the MRL. They have a traditional style paint scheme,and they have all those SD45s,and an F45.It's too bad the new SD70ACEs will replace these relics,but it means the railroad is doing well and expects traffic to increase[8D].

  • I like them too. Remind me a lot of WC. 3 of my favorite loco's are on their roster. SD45's F45's and SD40's! I dont think the ACe's will replace much, they need all they can get now.

  • WOW! so many MRL fans! I thought I was the only one! I say that because out here in the midewest people look at my MRL equpment and react like this:

    Montana Rail LInk? You make that up, kid???[:O][;)][%-)][(-D]

    I was out in MRL country this past summer. It rocks![:D]

    Chris[8D].. a HUGE MRL fan!!!!!!!!!!
  • I live in Missoula Montana. I can tell you that the MRL keeps their motive power spotless. Lately the "Gas Local" (the Montana Sausage Link) runs with an SD70ACe and an SD45. The ML & LM have been seen running with 2 ACes on the point. Early December I saw 4306 & 306 (ACe & SD45) tied up back-to-back at "the house." Deliberate?
  • Cool!!! But I once saw a rather dirty F45 392...http://railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=121837

    But, yes, for the most part, their stuff is quiete clean, I was out by you this summer, before all the ACes, and I hope to return soon!!
  • I worship the tracks that the MRL operates on.
