In September, 2013, I rode Amtrak from Portland, Oregon, to Whitefish, Montana, for a stay at the Izaak Walton Inn in Essex. On the second day of my visit, I drove to the summit of Marias Pass where I was approached by two people from the BNSF general claims department who informed me I was trespassing. After a brief and amicable conversation where I told them I was a member of Friends of BNSF, we parted with the agreement that I'd stay well back from the tracks while shooting video. I also stopped along the shoulder of US 2 at Two Medicine Bridge where I caught some eastbound action. This is part 2 of 2 for Marias Pass and is part of a group that includes clips taken at the inn.
