MRL Annual Trip #6 - May 2009

A photo essay from my 6th annual excursion to Montana to photograph and record the Montana Rail Link, the primary railroad I model in HO scale and named my internet moniker after.

Numerous HD movies from the trip have been uploaded to Youtube for viewing.

Robby,
I am so jealous of you having the chance to make it out to Montana to do some railfanning. Thanks for posting your photos for us to enjoy. I know I really do.
