This route was originally part of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad, Northern Pacific Railway, Great Northern Railway and Spokane, Portland and Seattle Railway systems, merged into the Burlington Northern Railroad system in 1970. The section between Shelby, Montana and Whitefish, Montana is also a playable route in Microsoft Train Simulator, with adjacent lines being 3rd party routes.
