Synopsis
The Great Northern Railway (GN) main line stretched 1,700 miles from St. Paul, Minnesota, to Seattle, Washington, and was the most northern transcontinental railroad in the United States. In addition, GN branch lines stretched north from the Twin Cities to Superior and the Minnesota Iron Ore Range, and from Grand Forks, North Dakota, to Winnipeg, Manitoba; through Montana to Great Falls, Helena and Butte, and from Seattle to Vancouver, British Columbia. Other popular Great Northern passenger trains were the Badger-Gopher (St. Paul-Superior-Duluth), Dakotan (St. Paul-Minot), Cascadian (Seattle-Spokane), Red River (St. Paul-Grand Forks), Internationals (Seattle-Vancouver) and Winnipeg Limited (St. Paul-Winnipeg). Historic images include 4-4-0 steam locomotive William Crooks, the first steam locomotive to operate in Minnesota. Like other railroads, Great Northern purchased diesel locomotives from Electro-Motive Division consisting of the FT, F3, F7 and E7. Later models were U25B, U28B, U33C, SDP40, SDP45 and the first SD45 named "Hustle Muscle." Also pictured are boxcab Z-1, Y-1 and W-1 electric locomotives., The Great Northern Railway (GN) main line stretched 1,700 miles from St. Paul, Minnesota, to Seattle, Washington, and was the most northern transcontinental railroad in the United States.

Exactly as described. Great communication. It is not the seller's fault but EBAY's Global Shipping programme is terrible, expensive, slow, and tracking doesn't work. But the seller is highly recommended. Thank you.

  • Great look at a great train

    This volume is LOADED with historic photo's, views of train pamphlets, very nice shots of GN owned lodges in Glacier Park. I really like the detailed map of Glacier National Park. While very focused on the "Empire Builder" passenger train, there are shots from along the route. The research and review needed to put this together are above reproach. The only short coming is personal opinion, more Big Sky Blue shots would have been great.

  • GN Railway Route of the Empire Builder Book Review

    I have several books on The GN Railway and this one doesn't disappoint. There are some excellent photos and the text is clear and well written. Some material may have come from the GN Historical Society and from the PFM book GN Railway.A good book for any GN Fan.

  • Inviting!

    The content as well as, the photos provide great historical relevance. My first on a train was aboard the Empire Builder in 1949. It was fun to see the photos and the details of where I’d been.
