Friday, June 11, the group was setting their motor cars on the wye at Whitehall when I arrived at 16:00. They used the crossing for the rodeo grounds. The Whitehall wye leads to the Twin Bridges branch, which is currently blocked with stored centerbeams.
Once the cars were on the track they moved down the east leg of the wye towards the main to park for the night.
Crossing the Jefferson River on Bridge......
Entering the canyon you see hallowed ground on the other side of the river. A moment of silence, please.
Anyone who is familiar with Fred Hyde's book on the Milwaukee Road should recognize this shot.
Our first rest stop across the highway from Lewis & Clark Caverns.
At Sappington is the Luzenac talc facility. This was relocated here from the Alder branch (Twing Bridges) in the early '80s.
My host, Jim Morefield, a retired chief engineer from the Camas Prairie Railroad. In the distance is fixer upper ranch house.
At Three Forks is another Luzenac talc loading facility.
Stopping for a break at Willow Creek where MRL stages empty ballast cars in the short siding.
The grain loading spur is no longer in service.
Entering Logan under I-90.
Turning the cars at Logan the old fashioned way. We were authorized by the dispatcher to enter CTC territory to turn around. Group organizer, Bill Taylor, says this was a first for his group -- entering CTC.
Some operators had hydraulic turn tables on their cars that would lower from the bottom, lift all four wheels off the rails, and allow one person to spin the car around to the proper direction.
Jim Morefield's ex-MP and ex-BN motorcar (the one I rode.) He said the BN bought a fleet of ex-MP motorcars in the '80s and his was actually decalled by BN for Northern Pacific.
Entering Logan.
West of Three Forks on the return I had to photograph the ex-MILW catenary pole. It appears the 100KV poles were also used to support the catenary right here. 
The MILW ROW curving to the right as the Harrison branch gains elevation towards Big Antelope Creek.
Another abandoned ranch house. This one is alongside the Harrison branch. Perhaps an ARB retirement project?
Pretty good track for a "served as needed" branchline.
Bridge #3 crossing Big Antelope Creek.
Arriving into Harrison. The DeFrance family, grain elevator operators and PRO members, had a BBQ lunch waiting for the group inside the warehouse.
Break time in Harrison following the turning of the cars.
Returning towards Sappington.
Asst. Roadmaster Curt Witham's hi-rail truck escorted us in front. Trident section foreman, Waylon DuBois, followed up the rear. 
Back on the 5th sub west of Sappington. More sacred MILW ground in the distance.
Oops, what happened here? Who forgot to open the cattle crossing?
Get out and push!
Some weed control is needed here. I guess this is dark territory.
Keep your feet inside! Monad Brush Cutting services needs to do some work here.
Do we really want to cross this fill? T'is the Dog Creek fill.
More Monad Brush Cutting work. Actually, these last 6 shots are on the 5th sub between Pipestone and Spire Rock, still MRL-owned track.
