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.

Deep Creek along the old Great Northern! Lately, I've
been exploring BNSF's Funnel, Sandpoint and as far
north as Bonners Ferry.  Click on the above picture as
I do a long explore of Northern Idaho in these few,
precious months of summer.  Highball!!
