   I don't think that area was ever electrified.  The Milwaukee Raod was   
   further south, and is now a trail.   
      
   This is the Milwaukee Road:

   Notice the non-Milwaukee Road line heading northwest from Missoula?   
   That is an ex-Northern Pacific line, and I am fairly certain that is   
   what line this was.
