Saugus, Montana

Saugus is a rural unincorporated community in Prairie County, Montana, United States,[1] along the Yellowstone River.

Saugus was once one of the biggest cattle and horse shipping points in eastern Montana.

On June 19, 1938, the Olympian #15, a Trans-Missouri passenger train, derailed when bridge piers were undermined by the high water of Custer Creek caused by a cloudburst.

The Milwaukee Road changed the named of the station to Susan to honor Cattlewoman Susan Haughian (who, along with her sons, owned the land the station was located on) and to remove its association with the accident.
