MRL Annual Trip #9 - June 2012

A photo essay from my 9th 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. Photos captured between June 8 and 16, 2012. (Still adding images from the trip, stay tuned for updates.)

Fantastic images Robbi. BNSF 9211 head shot and the Fish Creek trestle are top drawer for sure.
