Coming from a local railfan who lives in Whitefish and frequents Marias Pass I definitely will be looking forward to Part 2!

As a conductor on this line, with a long history of family going back well into the GN era, id like to point out that Whitefish is the last roundhouse and 140' turntable in the entire state and last Mallet house of the GN. Our superpower R-2 2-8-8-2 class was the largest steam made until the big boys and most powerful, due to our 4% grades. I got a great grandfather who worked on the Essex division, and he got film on the east side these beasts doing 75+, and he'd run the S-2 4-8-4 passenger trains up to 130 as well. He died a few years back but he watched the 20s steam era with early compounds, the 40s with massive articulated R class, 50s with diesels, and the advent of turbine power as well when we had a GE demonstrator set. Where he lived (Red eagle on the timetable, but actually known as Nyack now) saw one of the worst wrecks near his house in the 30s. A fast freight coming up the pass slammed into the ass of a passenger at the flag stop, and all the wooden cars got crushed in. All were lost due to that. Theres a plaque there commemorating it if you go to the dump on the way towards Essex from West Glacier.

I disagree, Marias pass on the Empire builder offers some amazing views, you can see the majesty of glacier park. As someone who lives in montana, sure it doesn’t capture being there in some areas but there are definitely some awesome views.

My great grandfather worked on the GN in the early 1900s - I still have his pocket watch and lantern. Not much was known about him, but I do know that I worked in the same territory he did in Washington state.

What impresses me is how many of these locomotives that are on display in the open all year round are kept in such good condition. There must be people who repaint them periodically

An extraordinary video, but it would be extremely interesting to include detailed maps of the different cities and sectors that are discussed in the report. If a person has never seen the area before, nor is familiar with the state of Montana, nor has ever heard of the rail line before, they can be lost with so much information without clearly locating it on a detailed map. Best regards.

Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent photography job enabeling viewers to better understand what the orator is describing. enjoying this presentation from the safety zone of my computer room. Along the " Space Coast " 🚀 of Florida🐊🐊. Wishing viewers/RR employees a safe/healthy/prosperous ( 2024 ) 🌈🎉😉.
