A Vintage Rail Journey on the Montana Daylight (Sandpoint, ID - Livingston, MT)

Last edited Fri Jun 21, 2024, 02:23 PM - Edit history (1)



Hop aboard for a Rare-Mileage Journey on the "Montana Daylight"- a tour train that ran along the old Northern Pacific & Milwaukee Road mainlines on a 2-day journey from Sandpoint, Idaho to Livingston, Montana from 1995 until 2004. This train no longer runs & the line is freight-only, so the one of the only ways to see this route by rail is to watch this vintage video!

(Note: This video is low-res & was recorded on Super8 film & converted to digital MP4 and is included here for historical purposes)
