Give a wall, workshop, office, or rail room a strong connection to Great Northern Railway history. This metal sign honors the northern transcontinental railroad that ran from Saint Paul to Seattle and reached the Pacific in 1893. Its subject matter evokes Marias Pass, Glacier National Park, the Empire Builder, and the bold corporate identity cherished by railway collectors. A natural choice for fans of classic American railroading and regional history.
The Great Northern Railway was an American Class I railroad created by Canadian-American entrepreneur James J. Hill from the Saint Paul & Pacific Railroad. Hill's investment group took control of the earlier road on March 13, 1878, and on September 18, 1889, he renamed the Minneapolis and St. Cloud Railway the Great Northern Railway. On February 1, 1890, the St. Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba Railway, Montana Central Railway, and other lines were consolidated into the system. Its main line ran from Saint Paul, Minnesota, to Seattle, Washington, becoming the northernmost transcontinental railroad in the United States. The route crossed Marias Pass in Montana and reached Seattle in 1893. Great Northern promoted settlement and Glacier National Park, while serving communities and resource industries across the northern states. Its premier train, the Empire Builder, was introduced in 1929 in honor of Hill. On March 2, 1970, Great Northern merged with Northern Pacific, Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, and Spokane, Portland and Seattle to create Burlington Northern Railroad. Burlington Northern later merged with Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe in 1996 to form Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway.
