Mountain West Rail

The Spokane, Portland & Seattle #700, a 4-8-4 steam locomotive, led Montana Rockies Rail Tours westbound passenger excursion from Billings, MT on October 18th.

The train departed Billings a little after 8:30 am in a cloud of steam and smoke which also looks great in black & white.

Departure from the yard limits in Laurel, MT was a spectacular display of sight and sound - which sometimes you just need to watch.
