This photo of the Great Northern Ballast Train was taken by the Great Northern Railway Historical Society Editor Phil Webb in 1952 while on a camping trip in and around Glacier National Park. The GN train was eastbound in the Essex area (near the Izaak Walton Inn). Phil Webb suspected  this train string of what appears to be empty ballast cars was returning from a work site. They may have been doing some work on tunnel linings in the area.
