Montana Rails – Mountains to Prairies Jones. For nearly 150 years, railroads have been transforming the Montana landscape. Steel rails arrived on May 9, 1880, when the narrow-gauge Utah & Northern reached Monida Pass south of Butte. At the zenith of rail line construction during the 1890s and early 20th century, all major transcontinental railroads crisscrossed Montana. Through the years, many original railroads evolved into the Burlington Northern Railroad, Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF), and Montana Rail Link with unique short lines along the way. 96 pages, 153 photos, 6½"x 9¼", softcover. #410246 $22.95 Order Today at 800-261-5922 or www.HistoricRail.com
