From Salt Lake City, the train ran north to Ogden, then crossed into Idaho to make stops in Pocatello, Blackfoot, Idaho Falls, Dubois, and Spencer before crossing Monida Pass into Montana. In Montana the train made stops in Lima, Armstead, Dillon, Melrose, and Silver Bow before finally ending in Butte. Connections to the Northern Pacific and the Milwaukee Road were available in Butte. By 1970 the route had been condensed to only stop in Ogden, Pocatello, and Idaho Falls en route to Butte.
