North Coast Limited (SA-12)

The Northern Pacific "North Coast Limited" is seen westbound on the Homestake Pass, above Butte, Montana. A beautiful two-toned green A-B-A set of Electro-Motive Division F9's heads up the consist as it passes the weird rock formations common to this part of the route. Viewed from the dome cars this must have been a spectacular and somewhat alien landscape. Unfortunately, trains no longer run on this stretch of the old Northern Pacific, now part of today's Montana Rail Link.
