Welcome to Great Northern Railway Page!
My name is
Lindsay Korst.
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.
Serendipity!
I was rummaging through some old
prints from 2003 looking for the GN Anacortes Depot,
and instead came across the above photo of Zeke's
Drive-In at Gold Bar, WA.
With a fresh coat of caboose red and a snappy Great
Northern goat logo, this caboose salutes the former
GN just across US 2. Except it's NOT a GN caboose.
This ex-NP car (number
unknown) is off its trucks,
but still looks mighty good masquerading in Rocky
dress.
