Viewing Album:  Montana Roadside - I90 eastbound
 
By:David Larrabee
Dates:6/28/2019 - 6/28/2019
Album Info:Here are a few scenes taken from I90 driving eastbound between Bonita and Garrison, Mt. This was interesting track with signals, tunnels and bridges easily seen from the Interstate. If my research is correct this was originally part of The Northern Pacific and now operated by Montana Rail Link. The track was in excellent condition with speed limits in places at 55. Upon research I found the MILW paralleled this track 'back in {he day'. A survey of this area on Google Earth will show abandoned tunnels and bridges just dozens of yards west of the active line running for miles. /DL
