Well, the Milw didn't start the Pacific Extension until after 1900, so scratch that. I'm not sure where the Dakota Badlands are but a little voice in my head (which reminds me. I've got to take my medications) tells me they're in the southern part, so I'm going w/ NP

Well the
NP mainly goes through Livingston Montana and is the Yellowstone Route but enters the park from the North. So I am guessing it is too far north.
The
GN is even further north.
The
CB&Q south "main" is to the south of the UP through Nebraska to Denver. But the northern connection met the
NP in Billings Montana so it has to swing northward somewhere along there. Also the
Colorado Southern's Northern Division went up that way but I think it was further over in Wyoming. But when I visited Rapid City in 1982 I remember seeing
BN locomotives. Hmmmm.
The
Milwaukee had a non-transcontenental western line that terminated in Rapid City, so that had to go right by/through the bad lands. But I have no idea when it was built (before or after the main transcon route). So that is my guess
Milwaukee.

I would like to see a map of that. Unless what they are calling the "bad lands" isn't THE bad lands.
