Extreme Freight Trains on Montana's Mullan Pass

Presented in 4K - 45 minutes of heavy freight train action on the Mullan Pass, in Central Montana. The Montana Rail Link was recently bought out of the BNSF, but the trains and scenery are still mostly unchanged! Located on the 3rd Subdivision, the steep 2.2% grades provide some of the finest and toughest railroading around.
You'll also see some of the various MRL/BNSF helper sets, that are staged at the bottom of the pass, in nearby Helena, MT. These helper sets are manned, and mainly attached to Westbound trains who need assistance going up the pass.
Thanks for watching! | Video and Content by MichaelLovesTrains 2024

Holy cow. That MRL patriotic unit is so dirty now that you can barely tell what it even is! Glad I visited MRL multiple times over the years before BNSF decided to take it back over.

I noticed too, since BNSF took over MRL, they no longer keep those EMD's clean, like the Washington group used to.

Looks so peaceful to film trains at

Great to see they have some MACs in service again

A small correction; the BNSF sought to end the lease to MRL early. The money exchanged was to terminate the lease. The track has always been BNSF via the Northern Pacific.

I lived in Helena from 1988 to 1992. My wife worked and I would just hop on these grain trains going over Mullen pass and ride them to the top where they would cut out the helpers and the Helpers would usually give me a ride back to Helena. This was when I was in my 20's and had no kids. those were the good ol' days....

That's a great spot to shoot Skyline Trestle Michael! I was there in 2015 and spent 3 days on the Pass, but trains were few and far between, but still a great place ! Nothing like this down here in Australia?? Cheers Gregg.

Mountain railroading at its finest. Units in Run 8 up front, units in Run 8 in the swing, and a unit in run 8 at the rear. Someone please forward this video to the suits in Omaha and let them know Tennessee Pass is waiting for its return call.

Great pictures and landscape. Thank you very much. One question: Is there a general speed limit on the Mullon Pass? It looks like coupled locomotives without cars don't go any faster than freight trains with 200+ cars.

Ahhh, Scott Hiddelston territory. He mostly quit posting, it seems. I lived there for 7 years, but never went up to the pass area. My bad.

So sad how much BN’s changed our railroad in the last 7 months. I miss having the 4400’s in our helpers in Livingston. The MAC’s are okay but 2 ACe’s and a 40 did better than them on the rear of a heavy.

Sweet video Mike! I got to know what you use to film. I will indeed need to get it.

Where did the SD70ACe with numbers 4316, 4317, 4318 and 4319? Usually they were actively working until the road to BNSF passed. And the MRL locomotives are somehow dirty, this has never happened before. Sadly.

The 4300s work bnsf road service across the system now bc they can’t lead due to having thunder cabs
