| Little Joe and diesel helpers bring a train down the hill and along the North Fork of the St Joe River as they head into the yard limits at Avery, ID. |
|
| Boxcab motors E-50 A,B..... at Willow Creek, MT. |
|
| Little Joe E-74 waiting for work at Deer Lodge, MT |
|
| Little Joe E-74 leads GP40 #19 near Drummond, MT. Photos of 2-digit GP 40's are hard to find, there were only a few of these locos numbered in the two digit series and they were renumbered back to the 2000 series when the SD 40-2 locotrol units came on line. |

| I believe that this may be a Sandy Goodrich photo. The train is the Olympian Hiawatha, I am not sure of the direction or location but it appears to be near Butte, MT. |
|
| I think that this is an eastbound train nearing the "top of the hill" at Roland, ID. It will soon enter the St Paul Pass tunnel and emerge in Montana. |
|
| Westbound across the Clark Fork River and the Northern Pacific at St. Regis, MT |
|
| Well, if you never had the chance for a cab ride in a Lttle Joe, here's what you missed. Not sure of the location but my guess would be eastbound near Drexel ???? Any help with this one ? |
|
| Westbound through the Jefferson River Canyon just west of Three Forks, MT. The third Joe is dead-in-tow, probably to Deer Lodge for repairs. The diesel switch engine is probably the Three Forks switch engine going to Deer Lodge for maintainence. |
|
| This is Joe E-72 near Drummond, MT. |
|
| A very interesting photo of Westinghouse EP-3 E-11 at Avery, ID. I believe that the E-11 was the only EP-3 to receive this silver paint scheme. Thanks to Stuart Kurth for the photo. |
|
| E-75 and some GP40's westbound at Three Forks, MT. |
|
| Correct me if I am wrong but I believe that this is a westbound train at Haugan, MT. The loco is an SD45 being used as a mid-train slave. The hard climb to the summit at East Portal began at Haugan. |
|
| Here's a nice photo of SD40-2 #133 an train nearing Harlowton, MT and the begnning of the Rocky Mountain Division electrification. Note the business car in the consist. |
|
| Milwaukee NW-2 bearing the mark of the beast (666) at Tree Forks, MT. Three Forks was electrified on the main lie and some yard tracks. This diesel was the power for trains on the Gallitan Valley branch to Bozeman and Menard. |
|
| GP 40 #17 sits beside the E50 GE freight motor set at the Deer Lodge engine facility in the spring of 1974. |
