The slogan 'The Last Best Place' certainly describes well the huge
state of Montana, which stretches some 630 miles across and is
located in the north-western United States. Three railroad main
lines once spanned its width, but the unfortunate abandonment of
the Milwaukee Road left only the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific routes, now Burlington Northern, to move the tonnage. Union
Pacific also reached into the state from Utah in the southwest, the
earliest line built into the territory by predecessors arriving in
mineral-rich Butte in 1881. Today, over 3,000 miles of track cross
Montana through 'Big Sky Country', climbing magnificent mountain
passes and sweeping across the great prairies that prevail in the
eastern portion of the territory. Dynamic BNSF dominates the
railroad scene, with remarkable Montana Rail Link providing an
important link in Montana railroading. UP and several short line
operators provide added colour to the trains in the 'Treasure
State,' making the railroads of Montana a visual gem.
