A trio of Montana Rail Link (MRL) EMD SD70ACe's nos 4314, 4312 and 4315 follows an eastbound BNSF freight through the yard at Livingston, Montana in September 2009. The trio has just helped a freight up the western slope of the Bozeman Pass and provided braking assistance on the eastern descent. The locomotives will take up position at the eastern end of the yard to await the arrival of the next westbound freight. When this train arrives it will be split in two and the three MRL loco's will be inserted in the middle and the train reassembled ready to tackle the climb to the 5,800 feet high summit.
