That's a real gem, James; the foliage complements the train perfectly.

What a gorgeous photo. The scenery matches and compliments the train so well.

James, you couldn't have posed this any better if you owned the railroad! Also, it's shocking to be reminded that the UP had all three E units way back in 1993. Yet another great image.

Outstanding photo, Jimbo. I forgot you were up there for that trip! Great location, too!

Your shot really "sells" it. No wonder UP kept the "Butte Special" running right up till "A-Day." If they had a dome car on that train, who knows?

Picture perfect

Ellis--2/3rd of that Butte Special was pretty dull scenery. And it ran at night--I think a 12 hour schedule from Butte to SLC, departing at each end at 730pm, arriving 730am.

Wow. Nothing else to say.

1993 you say. I had the picture pegged for the early 1960's before reading the actual date it was taken. All in all,WOW!

Nicely done, James. Looks like you and Montana get along very well.
