Despite the death of his wife, Alex, Spencer will press on as the ranch’s leader and owner, raising his son, John Dutton II, to one day take his place. One of the upcoming Yellowstone spinoffs is 1944, set to pick up the story over two decades later, continuing to paint a more complete picture of the Dutton family.

The Duttons Never Learn About Yellowstone’s Train Station In 1923’s Finale

Donald Whitfield Died Knowing About The Train Station

Aside from exploring the early days of the Duttons, the Rainwaters, and the cycle of land developers trying to steal the ranch’s land, 1923 season 2 also provided the origin story for an unlikely subject: the train station.

This place was introduced in Yellowstone season 1 as the location where the ranch hands hide dead bodies. It plays a pivotal role throughout the series and even works its way into the Yellowstone series finale in a monumental moment.

1923 season 2 showed that the train station wasn’t actually a discovery made by the Duttons but by Donald Whitfield, allowing him to dispose of a body.
