Great Northern Railway Page

I have been a big fan of James Jerome Hill's Great Northern Railway
from an early age.  The black & white photo from October 1960
is my brother Mark, me and my Dad watching the Empire Builder
emerge from the north portal of the Seattle tunnel. That's also
me trying on my new GN conductor's hat a little more recently.

Rocky lives!  If you know where to look, there are still traces
of the old Great Northern Railway to be admired.  Believe it
or not, there at least 3 Great Northern cabooses along Route 66.
My brother and I recently drove the entire length of the Mother
Road from Chicago to Los Angeles (Santa Monica).

CLICK HERE or on the caboose above to read about our
experience.  We had a blast!
