  • THE MANIFEST October 2016
    THE MANIFEST October 2016 Greetings! Where has the year gone! We are coming up on our last two run days! It has been a fantastic year and we have a new venue to look forward to for our show in November. Please remember that we will now be at the Jackson County Expo for our Thanksgiving weekend show. I want to also remind each and every one of you to vote for Measure 15-164 on election day. It will be of enormous benefit to all of the historical societies that are promoting it in Jackson County, including ours. VOTE YES ON MEASURE 15-164 and tell your friends, family, neighbors, complete strangers who live in Jackson County to vote yes too Recently, a friend asked me about the Great Northern, as I was wearing a T-shirt depicting the logo. I explained that I was from Montana and the Great Northern will always have a place in my heart. She asked about the history, I found this story. I did not edit the spelling, etc. of the author; however, there are numerous errors. I hope you enjoy it. 1 What was the Great Northern Railway? The Great Northern Railway was created in September 1889 from several predecessor railroads in Minnesota and eventually stretched from Lake Superior at Duluth and Minneapolis/St. Paul west through North Dakota, Montana and Northern Idaho to Washington State at Everett and Seattle. Headquarters for the line were located in St. Paul, Minnesota. The line was the culmination of one man's dream, James Jerome Hill, the "Empire Builder" so-called because of his ability to create prosperous business where none previously existed.

  • GREAT NORTHERN R BRASS CAR SIDES Passenger Car Parts for the Streamliners Great Northern 82' Rebuilt Baggage-Express-Mail Storage Cars [Item No
    r GREAT NORTHERN R BRASS CAR SIDES Passenger Car Parts for the Streamliners Great Northern 82' Rebuilt Baggage-Express-Mail Storage Cars [Item No. 173-80] This sheet is supplied with our HO-scale brass car side set for modeling the Great Northern 82' Baggage-Express-Mail Storage cars numbered in the GN 308-313 and 200-207 groups, as well as other similar GN cars. It supplements modeling information contained in our Empire Builder sheet. The Great Northern Railway held the contracts from the U.S. Post Office Department for transporting transcontinental mail between St. Paul and Seattle. The GN operated its Fast Mail as trains 27 and 28 from the early steam era through the consolidation of this train over parts and then all of its route with the Western Star, GN Nos. 3 and 4, with the latter train adopting the Fast Mail’s numbers by 1960. These trains as well as the Dakotan, Winnipeg Limited, Red River, Gopher and Badger among others carried not only railway post office and storage mail cars but also baggage and express cars. The GN responded to the need for replacement and additional headend cars in the 1950's by converting dozens of heavyweight sleepers and a few dining cars from its own fleet and purchased from the Pullman Company to groups of modernized baggage, express and storage mail cars in various groups in the 200-400 series. The primary resources used in the creation of these etched parts were the following: “Great Northern Head End Cars Part X - Rebuilds of the 1940s and 1950s” by John R.
