Last mile of the Milwaukee Road |

This is the short approach block at east Terry, and if you look ahead, you can see the track swing on a fairly tight curve to connect with the Forsyth Sub. This was installed sometime in 1982, and the old Milwaukee main ahead to Miles City was removed. |

For those familiar with Blair Kooistras great pictures of this railroad in the 1970s, this was my attempt to get close to where he stood taking a picture of a Milwaukee Road westbound freight coming through. It is amazing how unrecognizable the area is compared to railroad days. |

Beverly Bridge |
| Description: |
One of the key points I wanted to see was the Beverly bridge, which is impressive, even in this desolate, sad town. It was cold out while I was there, and it added to the mystic of what this must have been like back in the 70s and before. The town is mostly dead, with a few residents trying to hang on for whatever reason they have. |
