Only the Milwaukee Road's Eastern lines were acquired by Soo line. The Lines West were abandoned except for a small section in Idaho operated by the St Maries River Railroad.

The ex Northern Pacific (now Montana Rail link) route ran parallel to, & often in sight of, the ex-Milwaukee Road mainline & also served the same general locales.

As part of my road trip I also rode the MRL's now-defunct "Montana Daylight" tour train and you could see the Milwaukee's right-of-way as the NP line ran right beside it. You can see the pics on my web page at https://northamericabyrail.info/usa-west/the-montana-daylight/ if you're interested
