Welcome to 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.

Serendipity!  I was rummaging through some old
prints from 2003 looking for the GN Anacortes Depot,
and instead came across the above photo of Zeke's
Drive-In at Gold Bar, WA.

With a fresh coat of caboose red and a snappy Great
Northern goat logo, this caboose salutes the former
GN just across US 2.  Except it's NOT a GN caboose.

This ex-NP car (number unknown) is off its trucks,
but still looks mighty good masquerading in Rocky
dress.
