Milwaukee plans coast extension through Boulder to Butte
The Milwaukee rail line aims to extend from Evarts to Boulder and then to Butte with a coast reach via Lolo pass. Survey teams report 300 miles of extension in 12 months, including western routes to the Black Hills and Miles City, plus a branch to Helena. The project highlights low altitudes at Townsend, strong finances, and potential competition with merger lines, with commentary from a Butte railroad man.
