We have the Kim Williams trail which is another chunk of the Milwaukee 
Road. It runs along the river so is a gentle grade, with one exception. 

https://fwp.mt.gov/stateparks/milltown/

The new state park is nice but railroad went under the mentioned overlook 
through Tunnel 16 1/2. It's a short tunnel and from what I can see is in 
good shape but the state is risk adverse and has fenced off the entrances. 
That means a steep climb up the ridge and down the other side. I hike it 
fairly often but I don't think I could have done it on a bicycle in my 
younger days. 

There are other stretches with tunnels that are accessible but aren't even 
formal trail to trails with some really shaky looking tunnels compared to 
16 1/2. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milwaukee_Road

It's not as well known as the Northern Pacific or Union Pacific but for 
something that started as a short line from Milwaukee to the river it had 
big dreams.
