BN 8163 West
Title:  BN 8163 West
Description:  Short of pacing UP 844, MILW 261, or any steam engine at full speed, this would have to come a close second..pacing Hustle Muscle through western Montana. Distracted driving to enth degree.

BN 8163 West
Title:  BN 8163 West
Description:  Getting a NP semaphore signal in the picture. Take the telephone pole crossbars out of the picture and it would be a great picture. Think this train was doing 50mph+ so I was little off the mark.

BN 8163 West
Title:  BN 8163 West
Description:  For some reason I dint notice that BN 6430 was the 2nd unit passing by St. Regis. So this turned out to be a very interesting train to follow.

BN 8163 West
Title:  BN 8163 West
Description:  Thompson Falls seems to be a place where the highway is close to the BN mainline and if you are following a WB BN train its a perfect spot to take a few pictures.
