On Montana Rail Link's 3rd Subdivision, trains must cross the continental divide by battling the notorious Mullan Pass. Mullan Pass is located just west of Montana's capital city, Helena, where the Montana Rail Link SD70ACe helper sets are based to assist heavy trains on their westward climb up the pass. The steep grades and manned helper sets make Mullan Pass arguably the most interesting operation on the system, and I was lucky enough to spend some time capturing trains here.
