For ‘Motorcar’ Enthusiasts, Dreams Are Realized on the Rails
FORTINE – Decades ago, John Chase spent his childhood summers in East Glacier Park. While most kids were itching to head for the hills of the national park, one of Chase’s favorite activities during those months away from home was watching passing trains at the Great Northern Railway depot.
Chase can remember the names of the trains that once called on East Glacier Park, like the Empire Builder, the Mail Express and the Oriental Limited, and how he longed to climb aboard and ride the rails.

Employees Return to Work as Investigation Into Plum Creek Explosion Begins
Employees at Plum Creek Timber Co.’s fiberboard plant are back at work today picking up the pieces of this week’s explosion and fire in Columbia Falls. Company spokesperson Kate Tate says all 183 medium density fiberboard plant employees are assisting in the cleanup as the investigation into the cause of Tuesday’s explosion begins.
Tate said an initial inspection of the facility showed that much of the equipment inside the fiberboard plant escaped the blast unscathed, but there was extensive water damage to the facility’s computer systems. Tate estimates that the plant could be reopened in a month.
