Here’s a few miscellaneous photos from around the Central Montana…
Grain is ready and so is the train. August is harvest time for grain and the harvest is in full swing in Central Montana. With some dry days later this week farmers will be at it from sun up to sun down. Grain trains are being positioned and one is expected at Grove on Friday.
Downtown Stanford. Another busy day is in progress in Stanford, Montana with folks coming to town do their business. Most residents don’t even notice the M-SHMLAU as it blasts through town.
Benchland depot. The Benchland, Montana depot is no longer next to the track but is still in existence which is not all that common out here.
Moonrise over Benchland elevator. Like many small elevators in Central Montana the Benchland elevator still stands but is unused. Farmers now take their grain to the large elevators at Grove, Moore, and Carter where BNSF supplies full trains for loading.
