In all likelihood the mountain in the video - Gold Butte - was the very same mountain you saw on your trip as the Empire Builder skirts past in a large semicircle and you see that mountain for a large part of the day.
The Empire Builder train was inaugurated by the former Great Northern Northern Railway in 1929, taken over by Amtrak in the 1970's, and the route through MT, ID & WA remains unchanged to this day - more proof that the mountain in the vid was indeed the one you saw on your trip.
Thanks for sharing that very interesting snippet about your family history!
Cheers & Best Regards! Pete
