Can anyone give me insight into the time frame when this line was abandoned? I have a seen a number of BN maps that seldom included this connection. I recently found a BN map from 1974 that shows it as a complete thru line but all I have been able to find on the net was a Montana government document from the late 80's asking to abandon a facility in Big Sandy. Is this about the time when that section was abandoned? Anyone know why? Lack of traffic etc..?
Thanks
Peter
The section from Fort Benton to Big Sandy was abandoned in 1983. I don't have the exact date.
Only the middle third of the line between Havre and GF was removed.
