yellowstone river

The railroad bridge that collapsed over the Yellowstone River last month has now been repaired and the first train rolled over the tracks on Saturday.

We were shocked to learn that cleanup teams are finding "tar balls" and "tar patties" up to 15 centimeters, as well as "tar mats" as large as 3 meters this far downstream.

The biggest question it seems most Montanans are interested in right now is: when will the railroad bridge be back up and running? Our supply chains have been battered, and there's concern rail worker jobs could be impacted.

It's easy to assume those oversized bird nests you'll find on top of power poles along the Yellowstone River are for bald eagles, but you would be mistaken.

It seems far too soon to be talking about flooding, but it's already happening in some areas of the state, according to the latest info from Montana DNRC.

Stopping the car, I saw two bags. They were sitting right next to each other in a small parking pull-out on the trail.

People like to do wild things in Montana. So why not try surfing?

The displaced cabin now rests along the banks of the Yellowstone River between Park City and Laurel, half buried in dirt and debris.

The shrill mating call of the cicada is impossible to miss along the Yellowstone River. The loudest bug in the world is harmless to humans and pets; only the male creates the ear-piercing sound.

Very few details have been shared so far about how it might have happened.
