Glen,
A little more about this line. The construction company named it the Big Horn
Southern and it was named that until the CB&Q assumed it. The reason it was so
short lived is the Wind River Canyon was finally breached and this gave a more
direct route to Cody and Yellowstone Park. I have traveled the route once will
have to do that again next spring.

I don't know how much information is known about this short-lived line
that lasted only about 10 years.
The other day I followed the old roadbed using one of those map web
sites called local.live, and it was surprisingly easy to trace and
follow from one end to the other.
Within what I would call the westerly third of this line from Pryor to
Warren, the majority of the line appears to be occupied by the road
between these two locations, but there is one place where the line
appears to leave the road and go through an old tunnel, which may or
may not still be there. Is that what I saw? It sure looked like the
old road bed disappeared and then reappeared. The roadbed through the
tunnel appeared to be oriented north and south. The tunnel did not
appear to be long, maybe a thousand feet? This may be in the area
called the Pryor Mountains.
