The Great Northern Railway Through Time takes us on a tour of the
American Northwest-the last American frontier-from St. Paul,
Minnesota, to Seattle, Washington. The Great Northern opened up the
Dakotas, Montana, Idaho, the dramatic Cascade Mountains of
Washington and the Continental Divide at Marias Pass. President
James J. Hill intended the Great Northern to be a freight hauling
road, but tourists riding on the GN's premier passenger train, The
Empire Builder were delighted by the prairie, the farmland, the Big
Sky Country, the mountains, and Glacier National Park. The G.N.'s
reputation grew. Today, Amtrak's Empire Builder traverses the same
territory. The Great Northern Railway Through Time presents photos
taken over the course of seventy five years by photographers of the
era. The author has provided ample photo captions pointing out
features that have changed over the years and features that have
stayed the same. The early photos are fresh-never before published.
The more recent shots were made by twenty of America's finest rail
enthusiast photographers.
