Montana By Steam 2002 Photos by Ed Hofmann

The PRPA thanks Ed Hofmann of Billings, MT for sharing these photos

"Dear Folks .... Today ... Oct. 18, 2002 ... was one of the finest experiences I have ever had ...... In my 45 years I have never seen an operational Steam Engine ... and the 700 blew me away. It was the absolute Perfect Montana Autumn Morning for the 700 to head west out of Billings towards Bozeman. I have included what I think are some pretty fair photos ... Please use them with my Blessing to share with other fans of the 700 on your website."
