AMTK 363         
#8 Amtrak's Empire Builder near Duke. This was one of my favorite places to shoot #8. This is scanned from a slide. One of many shots I took here of the "Builder". Since "9-11" haven't been able to get back here because of security around the Nuclear Plant which is about 500' to the right.

Ron Moraca General Great photo, Robert. 9/11 put a crimp in all rail photog's tails, including mine. I live in western MT, in Hamilton, 40 miles due south down the Bitterroot Valley from Missoula. There's mot much rail action in this end of the BV, but in Missoula, there's a BNSF/MRL feight yard and lots of traffic both east and west. I used to be able to take pics where I wanted, but ever since that date, the yard bulls, BNSF security people, and the local police have made photographing the action there a lot harder. 10/12/2008 6:38:04 PM
