    Yeah, look right as you start to near the top of the pass WB. Pretty cool. I'd like to follow it past the tunnel at some point.

    There's a mine of some sort here in Butte. I'm actually here delivering to BNSF.

    One more I've noticed south of Grangeville on 95, IIRC. Buncha cars stacked up at Grangeville, then you get into the mountains a bit and there's some big trestles on the east side.

    There's a few places to park through there, just haven't had time when I was there.

    There was a Charles Bronson movie filmed using one of those trestles between Cottonwood and Culdesac as I recall, somewhere between Grangeville and Lapwai anyway. I think it was called Breakheart Pass.
