I can tell you with 15yrs working as an operator on the BN that I wouldnt want to work as an opr here in Maupin. The placed is located on a blind curve both ways. Since there is an order-board here the trains arent going to "surprise you" but seeing the train at the last second for a hoop-up could be something to get used to. |

BN Depot |
| Description: |
NP depot at Missoula I should say. The only reason I took this trip to Montana in late March is because I got bumped from my clerks job in Bellingham WA and had to check out other places to work. Good thing I dint find any place in Montana especially on the ex-NP lines because they would be MRL. Most of the BN clerks and operators working the ex-NP/MRL ended up in BN "rubber-rooms" to protect their guarantees from the Frisco Merger. Was a very troublesome time for a lot of BN clerks/oprs as a result of the MRL. |
