Montana Rail Link’s Polson Local heads north at M.P. 16, south of Ronan, Montana, at sunrise on September 23, 2008, with the magnificent Mission Mountains providing the backdrop. A lone cow walks along the shore of the pond by the locomotives, as a heron perches on a fencepost and a duck floats by. Another beautiful morning in MRL country. To bad the “Flathead Flyer” doesn’t operate today.
