pH Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I wonder if this will have any effect on the only other Washington Group railway - the Southern Railway of BC here in the Lower Mainland of BC. It’s never been part of any bigger (railway) company, unlike MRL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mike_Walker Posted January 12, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 12, 2022 I have to say I'm not too surprised by this. BNSF have retained rights over the MRL main line throughout and on all of my visits practically all the trains I've encountered have been BNSF run-throughs sometimes with MRL helpers. MRL activity seems to have been restricted to branch lines.  Sorry to see another flag fall though.

RMweb Premium Mike_Walker Posted January 12, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) In memorium... Â Â SD45s 373, 330 and 316 along with GP9m 114 at West Austin MT on 17 May 2000. Â Â The same train heading east over the Austin Creek Trestle. Â Â Don't get too excited;Â SD45s 314, 331, 328 and 377 are pushing BNSF run-through KCKPAS towards the Bozeman Tunnel at Muir MT as barriers start to rise on 16 May 2000. Â Â Edited April 7, 2022 by Mike_Walker Spelling correction! 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
