It's summer, 1953, The Western Star (a secondary transcontinental train of the Great Northern) departs Havre at 4:40 AM as it starts it's next leg of the trip. During this time, the train is routed via Great Falls instead of the main.

The train makes a stop at Big Sandy, and after a bit, it gets underway.

One of the best looking consists ever. :thumbup3: I remember how striking they looked against the mundane cityscapes and corridors between Portland and Seattle back in the sisxties (not the Western Star, of course).
