Great Northern Railway Page

Welcome to my 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 (January 2006).

This month's cover picture is a beautiful Stan Kistler photo of GN W-1 class
#5019 at Skykomish. This 5000 horsepower locomotive introduces a complete
GN Electric Operations book from 1947 loaned courtesy of Mr. Dave Sprau.

Railfan Stevens Pass in June 2008!

Also featured this month are a couple pictures by Kevin Dellinger
of the recently-repainted GN 1147 steam locomotive at Wenatchee,
photo of the old Mount Vernon, WA depot, and a 1954 Ranch Car menu.
