A train is on its way to the Northwest Montana History Museum in Kalispell.
Arrival time will be announced as the museum assembles crews together to design a new permanent exhibit — a model railroad and locomotive display highlighting the timber industry, namely Somer’s Sawmill, the largest in the valley in the 1900s. The Great Northern Railway came to town to build an 11-mile railroad line to the sawmill. In return, the railroad was supplied with railroad ties.
