The Missoula Station.
Montana Rail Link GP-9's.
Rolling through the smokey Missoula Valley.
Heading through De Smet with the line via St Regis heading off to the left.
Climbing Evaro hill into the smoke and clouds
Curving higher and higher to gain elevation.
Camera problems caused me only to get this picture of the Marent Trestle.
The Montana Dayight climbing through the smoke and clouds.
Looking back you could see the smoke layer trapped by the clouds.
The train still climbing as the smoke is less and the sky is turning brighter.
Looking back and seeing what I had been breathing while I took these pictures.
The Montana Daylight cresting Evaro Hill and back into the first sunshine since Mullen Pass.

Go to the Evaro to Paradise pictures.
