  • History Behind GN#1355 for GNRHS Web Sight
    History Behind GN #1355 for GNRHS Website The following information is a short detail of history behind the Great Northern Railway steam engine #1355. This information is displayed on the GNRHS website, so that others may gain an appreciation for the only engine of its kind left in the world. GN #1355 is a nationally recognized historical industrial treasure. *** This information updated 2-23-09. *** October 16, 1909 – On this date, after being built at the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia, PA, Engine #B1477 (#33908) coal burning radial stay boiler, was fired up and tested. It was one of 25-E14 class 4- 6-0 engines to be built by BLW, for the GN. The 25-E14’s were shipped to St. Paul, MN to the Dale St. Shops. On November 13, 1909, Dale St. GN workers fired the boiler again to test it. On November 19th it was ready after inspections and was given the number of #1020. It was a numbered series from GN that ran from #1008- 1032. #1020 was sent directly to work in the Hillyard, WA region. In August, 1919, #1020 was sent to Spokane, WA Division passenger service until Feb. 19, 1924 when it would become a future historical engine. That is the date it was rolled into the Dale St. Shops for a major rebuild. The other 24 E14’s would also become new H5 class engines in time. #1020 would be the 8th E14 to be rebuilt to an H5 4-6-2. It would receive 23.5”x 30” cylinders, Belpaire boiler at 210 psi, type “A” header super heater tubes, larger fire box, longer boiler, Delta trailing trucks, pilot wheels replaced with solid wheels, brake modifications, new paint and converted from coal fired to fuel oil fired.

  • 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.

  • History Great Northern Railway
    A Condensed HISTORY Of The GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY 1958 From Public Relations Department, Great Northern Railway Company, St. Paul 1, Minnesota THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY The Great Northern Railway serves a vast, diversified and productive region comprising the Upper Midwest and the Northwest. On a system 8,300 miles in length, its trains carry freight, passengers, mail and express in the area between the Great Lakes and the Pacific Ocean. The rail- way operates in Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, South Dakota, Iowa Idaho, Washington, Oregon and California, and in the Canadian provinces of Mani- toba and British Columbia. Principal main lines extend from Lake Superior (Duluth and Superior) and the Twin Cities (St. Paul and Minneapolis) of Minnesota to Puget Sound, on the Pacific Coast. These lines serve the grain, potato and sugar beet districts of the Red Riv- er Valley, North Dakota, Montana and eastern Washington; the oil territory in North Dakota; the grain and cattle country of Montana, in addition to the oil, copper and lumbering industries of that state; apple and soft fruit districts of the Wenatchee River Valley in Washington, and grain and pea-growing areas elsewhere in that state; and lumbering and fish packing centers of Puget Sound. Other main lines serve the Mesabi Iron Range in Minnesota, and the forests of South-central Oregon and northern California. The line serving southern Oregon and northern California is connected with the balance of Great Northern's system by trackage rights over lines of other companies, to form a north and south through route on the Pacific Coast and between the Northwest and California.

  • {PDF EPUB} Burlington Northern Adventures Railroading in the Days of the Caboose by William J
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Burlington Northern Adventures Railroading in the Days of the Caboose by William J. Brotherton Great Northern Railway (U.S.) The Great Northern Railway (reporting mark GN ) was an American Class I railroad. Running from Saint Paul, Minnesota, to Seattle, Washington, it was the creation of 19th-century railroad entrepreneur James J. Hill and was developed from the Saint Paul & Pacific Railroad. The Great Northern's route was the northernmost transcontinental railroad route in the U.S. In 1970 the Great Northern Railway merged with three other railroads to form the Burlington Northern Railroad, which merged in 1996 with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway to form the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway. The Great Northern was the only successfully built privately funded transcontinental railroad in U.S. history. [1] [2] No federal subsidies were used during its construction, unlike all other transcontinental railroads. [1] History. The Great Northern was built in stages, slowly to create profitable lines, before extending the road further into the undeveloped Western territories. In a series of the earliest public relations campaigns, contests were held to promote interest in the railroad and the ranchlands along its route. Fred J. Adams used promotional incentives such as feed and seed donations to farmers getting started along the line. Contests were all-inclusive, from largest farm animals to largest freight carload capacity and were promoted heavily to immigrants and newcomers from the East. [3] The very first predecessor railroad to the company was the St. Paul and Pacific Railroad owned by William Crooks.
