Description:
Laurel straddles both sides of an intricate pattern of railroad tracks. The largest and busiest rail yard in Montana, it extends for 2 1/2 miles on a wedge-shaped piece of land between East Main Street and Shannon Road. Montana Rail Link has owned the yard since 1987. Burlington Northern Railroad operated it from 1970-1987, and Northern Pacific ran it prior to that, with the first recorded train stopping in Laurel in 1882.
