We're tentatively planning a train trip next year, want to hit the Rockies over to Montana. Will have to research whether a route even exists. I will be visiting your website, so thanks!

FYI - It's Amtrak's Empire Builder that runs through Montana. In fact that will be part 4 of my video series.

Cheers! Pete
