BNSF Coal Train on the Sarpy Line, Montana

The C-ABMBEN has just departed the Absaloka Mine (Hardin, MT) and now heads for the Forsyth Sub with a load of Montana Black Gold. These were the good ole days when MAC's were in charge of the Coal. Enjoy!

3 engines going down grade, my question how many to take the same up that grade. What % grade is it.

[@Trains232]

So the grades varies from 1.02% to 0.36% on the BNSF Sarpy Subdivsion.. So every train gets a standard 3-4 locomotives.
Not much power is needed to move the empties. The coal loads come down the hill and the emptys up.

Beautifully shot! In the several trips I've made to Montana over the years, I've never visited this line. Is it worth a day trip?

[@Trains232]

The line is pretty slow these days. More seasonal based now.

How much wagons in this train?
