By 1906, a southerly branch line ran from Medicine Hat, bypassing Calgary and Banff. The rail line follows (approximately) the route of east-west Canada highway 3, from the big rail yard at Medicine Hat, through Bow Island, Grassy Lake, Taber, Barnwell, Cranford, Coaldale, Lethbridge, Fort Macleod, Elko, Cranbrook, Moyle, Yahk, then the border at Kingsgate and Eastport.

The Spokane International Railway was funded by the Canadian Pacific, and passed southbound through Eastport Idaho, through Bonner's Ferry and Sandpoint Idaho, connecting to Spokane Washington. From Spokane, the Spokane, Portland, and Seattle Railway travelled down to Kennewick Washington, then followed the northern shore of the Columbia River past Maryhill, the rail yards in Wishram, White Salmon, Stevenson, Washougal, Vancouver, the rail bridge over the Columbia (one mile east of the current I5 bridge, through Saint Johns, across the Willamette River, then through the northwest Portland industrial area to Union Station.

From an earlyCanadian Pacific railway timetable (with many small towns omitted), two west/south-bound trains per day to Yahk BC:
