The 1970 merger of Northern Pacific; Great Northern; Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy; and Spokane, Portland & Seattle
created a new super railroad spanning the northern and central
United States over a 25,000-mile network. For twenty-five years, BN
was one of United States' premier railroads. In its first decade BN
had its hands full, paring down duplicate lines and forming a
cohesive system from all the predecessor railroads, as well as
investing in the explosive growth of Powder River Basin coal
shipments. By the early 1980s though, BN had clearly become its own
railroad, decked out in uniform Cascade green and black paint. The
BN of the 1990s experienced continued growth in intermodal, grain
and coal traffic, along with adding more hues to the company
colours. With wonderful original photographs, Mike Danneman takes a
look at the last dozen years of the Burlington Northern before the
merger with Santa Fe to form BNSF in 1995.
