BNSF L-MON2351-09I
Title:  BNSF L-MON2351-09I
Description:  The "Montana Western of BNSF" or the Copper City Sub train arrives Garrison while passing the remains of the garrison. I knew that Mondays were the best days to see this train, since it usually had 4 units. we intended to chase it south/east back to Butte, but when I found the leader was going to be an orange unit, I scrapped the idea.
