The subdivisions around the Hi-Line are:
- Kootenai Sub: Whitefish, MT - Spokane, WA
- Milk River Subdivision: Havre - Glasgow, MT
- Sweet Grass Sub: Shelby - Sweet Grass, MT (directly at the Canadian border, interchange with CP)
- Great Falls Subdivision: Shelby - Great Falls, MT (unsignaled mainline)
- along the Great Falls Sub are three short branchlines: Valier, Choteau, and Fairfield Subs
- south of Havre and north of Great Falls, we find the Big Sandy (Pac Jct - Big Sandy) and Fort Benton Subs (Great Falls - Fort Benton), which back in the GN days used to be a single through mainline connecting Havre to Great Falls
- south of Great Falls is the Laurel Subdivision, Great Falls - Laurel, MT, which connects to the MRL and other lines BNSF further south (and that's also where the coal trains are coming from)
- at Great Falls is also the start of the Helena Sub (Great Falls - Helena, MT), again with connection to the MRL, but if my research is correct then this line is now out of service and only used for car storage
Not looking for an exact date, but I'm still curious about an estimated release (days, weeks, months, etc). We're currently in the middle of a Steam sale and I'm still sitting on my paltry wallet in case this route suddenly becomes available. I imagine there may be a lengthy DTG approval and posting period, but one never knows. Thanks.
) but the release is getting close.
