An eastbound BNSF loaded coal train rumbles along the Missouri River approaching Clarkston, Montana, on October 2, 2022, led by BNSF EMD SD70MAC No. 9702, a former BN locomotive, along with BNSF Heritage I GE C44-9W No. 976 and Canadian National EMD SD70M-2 No. 8882. This coal train was enroute to export at Westshore Terminals' coal export facility at Roberts Bank, British Columbia, but was halted on Montana Rail Link due to a dock workers strike, with the train then sent east to a new customer.
