Welcome to the Railroads of Montana

Railroads of Montana as been active since the year 2000 highlighting the railroad photography of Dale Jones. Some may remember early calendars featuring the Railroads of Montana, beginning way back with an 18-month 1999/2000 small format calendar. In addition to the Railroads of Montana calendars, there was a series of full-color 28-page booklets covering topics as the 
Soo Line connection in Montana, historic Marias Pass and the Hi-Line from Browning to Bainville

In 2011, a reintroduction of my calendars in the same size and full-color format as the original Railroads of Montana began now formatted in Adobe® Reader PDF files and are FREE for anyone who would like to download them. There are hundreds of important dates in Montana railway along with interesting transportation logos and insignias  - as well as beautiful color photographs from all around the Big Sky State. You may now print these calendars out on your own printer.

The website has been redesigned, as it was getting a bit cluttered.
All the information that was in the old website is still there -
it's just some web pages have been consolidated and many more have been added.
So...if you have page links saved - you may need to re-link them to the current locations.

I've added a bibliography of books related to Montana transportation history, as I get many requests on where to find research concerning various railroads. I am also working on an ongoing historical list of railroad employees that worked in Montana, as I get many genealogical questions.
Hopefully this list will help - check out these new web pages for additional information.
I've also designed a custom search engine specifically to search Montana history websites
Please try out the "Custom WWW Search" page where you can find the details
