Montana Rail Link, based in Columbus, MT, was a railway company that ceased active operations on January 1, 2024, as authorized by the Surface Transportation Board. Following the transition, BNSF Railway now operates the former MRL lines under the newly-designated MRL Subdivision of the Montana Division.
While MRL retains certain non-operational branch line corridors, BNSF is responsible for operational, shipper, and real-estate inquiries related to the former MRL lines. The company emphasizes safety, urging the public to stay off railroad property and follow designated crossings to prevent accidents and trespassing violations.
