For some context, here's a map of the electrified lines. There were two sections of the mainline electrified, between Harlowton, MT and Avery, ID and between Othello and Tacoma in Washington. By 1974 both sections were forcefully de-electrified before their time by a conspiracy by corrupt top management to undermine the competitive ability of their own railroad. In 1980, after raping the Milwaukee Road's electrified operations, they abandoned the Pacific Extension entirely from Montana west.
