Yellowstone Valley RR

The northern segment, from Bainville to Scobey, was constructed by the Great Northern Ry opening to Plentywood in 1911 and Scobey in 1914. A further extension was built to Opheim later abandoned. The other line was built as a pair of branch lines connecting Sidney to the GN at Snowden and the Northern Pacific Ry at Glendive. The Snowden-Sidney piece was completed by the Montana Eastern Ry, a GN subsidiary, in 1915, and the remainder by the NP in 1912. Effective August 15, 2005, the YSVR leased both of these lines from the BNSF Railway, successor to the GN and NP.

WAMX 3922, GP35m, was built by Electro-Motive in April 1965, #30114, FN 7787-1, as Great Northern 3026, Class GP-35.  It became Burlington Northern 2509, Class GP-35, in 1970 and rebuilt by Morrison Knudsen in October 1988 as Burlington Northern 2875, Class GP-39M.  It became Burlington Northern Santa Fe 2875, Class GP-39M, in August 2000 and became Class GP-39R.  It was sold as WATCo 3922 and assigned as Yellowstone Valley RR.
