Book excerpt: "This is an all-color pictorial of James J. Hill's Great Northern Railway. Formed from a pair of bankrupt startup Minnesota railroads in 1878, Hill and his partners went on to acquire and build, with private money, what would become a railroad empire. First as the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba then, after reorganization, renamed the Great Northern Railway in 1890. Hill's investors would never have to contend with another financial failure. Hill's railroad construction enterprise expanded beyond Minnesota to connect the Duluth-Superior Lakehead to the west coast at Everett, Washington, followed by a north-south link connecting Vancouver, British Columbia, with Seattle, Portland, and California. His business plan of using branch lines and feeder systems routing traffic to his Great Northern Railway from the Great Lakes, Canada, Europe, and Asia would serve his transportation enterprise well. During economic downturns, the Hill interests acquired the Northern Pacific Railway and the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. In March 1970 all these corporate entities, along with the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railway, were finally merged into the Burlington Northern Railroad. During the steam era, Great Northern operated big articulateds that moved iron ore from the Mesabi Iron Range to the Twin Ports and their famous Class O-8 Mikados could be found hustling fast freights across the Dakotas and Montana. The Great Northern also operated a 72-mile-long electrified district through Washington state's Cascade Mountains.With the arrival of the diesel era, the Great Northern owned and experimented with locomotives from nearly every builder"--Amazon.com.

PRESIDENCY OF HENRY VILLARD. Relations of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company with the North- ern Pacific--A Threatened Conflict of Interests--Traffic Contract Agreed Upon--Villard's Plan to Acquire Control of the Northern Pacific-- History of the Blind Pool--A Romance of Wall Street--Formation of the Oregon and Transcontinental Company--Its Objects--A Legal Controversy over an Issue of Northern Pacific Common Stock--Henry Villard Elected President of the Northern Pacific--Thomas F. Oakes Elected Vice-President--Important Financial Aid Afforded by the Oregon and Transcontinental--Building of Branch Lines. In the preceding pages an account has been given of Mr. Villard's efforts and aims in organizing the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company, and of the financial measures taken in order to insure its rapid development from a mixed transportation system consisting of steamships, steamboats, and a small disconnected railroad mileage into the more comprehensive and solid system, with a preponderance of railroad lines, it has become since 1879. But it was not only the needs of the new enterprise in these respects that called for his attention and action. It became also necessary, at an early stage, to provide against danger from possible competition. The principal prospective danger lay in the possible conflict of the interests of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company with those of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company. As early as the spring of 1880, Mr. Villard entered into communication with the executive officers of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company in order to suggest and bring about, if practicable, such agreements between the two corporations as would avert future collisions. Two objects he was especially...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Northern Pacific Railroad and Connections The advent of the Northern Pacific Railroad, five years ago, as a competitor for through transcontinental business, marked a new era in railway passenger service between the East and the Pacific coast. The most notable feature in connection with the train service inaugurated by this new line was the introduction Of elegant dining cars, which were built at the Pullman Car Works, being marvels Of luxury and Of the most elegant design and finish. In these cars the passenger sits down to a bountiful spread, comprising all the delicacies of the season On both the Atlantic and Pacific coast, as well as the fish and game Obtained from the country through which the road passes, for which he pays the modest sum Of 75 cents per meal. Although the Northern Pacific Railroad stands alone in this respect, among the transcontinental lines in the United States, passengers by other routes being still obliged to depend upon the Old-fashioned, much-abused eating station, the management Of this line, not content with the great improvements made in the past, announces that on May lst, 1889, they will put in service between St. Paul and Minneapolis and Tacoma and Portland complete vestibuled passenger trains. These trains will be equipped with the latest improved, automatic Westinghouse brake, the Westinghouse air signal, Miller platforms, patent steel-tired wheels, and in fact, every appliance and improvement in the railway service that will contribute to the safety, convenience, Or comfort Of the traveler.
