When I rode the train through Montana, when was it 2003?, there were actually NG troops at the doors of the train at one stop. There were also some US Marshalls stomping up and down the aisles of the train. I thought for a moment that the train had wound up somewhere in Europe during the late 30's somehow. I remember someone saying that station was only 10 miles from the border. I guess Frank and Dave were trying to sneak in.
