Curious about the origins of Yellowstone’s infamous train station and how 1923 Season 2 connects it to the Dutton family’s history? The secret dumping ground has been a key part of Yellowstone, but its backstory remained a mystery—until now.
Here’s a look at how 1923 Season 2 Episode 4 reveals the train station’s origins, its first discovery, and what this means for the Duttons’ legacy.
Here’s what the Train Station is in the Yellowstone franchise
The train station in Yellowstone is a remote site on the Montana-Wyoming border where the Dutton family disposes of bodies without legal consequences.
With no residents, no jury can prosecute crimes there. John Dutton III states in Yellowstone Season 5 that the area has a “population of zero,” emphasizing its role as a secret dumping ground. The train station has remained a crucial tool for the Dutton family across generations.
Its existence has played a significant role in their ability to maintain power over the Yellowstone ranch. The location remained mysterious throughout much of the series, but 1923 has now revealed its origins.
1923 Season 2 Episode 4 reveals the Train Station’s origin
In 1923 Season 2 Episode 4, Donald Whitfield (Timothy Dalton) identifies a plot of land resembling Yellowstone’s train station.
He tells Banner Creighton (Jerome Flynn) that the area is on the Montana-Wyoming border, uninhabited, and ideal for disposing of bodies. This matches John Dutton III’s later description in Yellowstone. Whitfield is the first to see its potential for covering up crimes, but the Duttons are likely to take control.
Their conflict with Whitfield suggests his discovery may foreshadow his fate. Creighton’s distrust of Whitfield could lead him to betray him to the Duttons, exposing the train station’s location. This event secures its role in the Yellowstone timeline, establishing a history that spans over a century.
