Add Great Northern Railway character to the daily desk routine. This mouse pad draws on the storied line that crossed the northern states from Saint Paul to Seattle, connecting mountain passes, prairie communities, Glacier National Park, and the Pacific Northwest. It is made for fans of the Empire Builder, James J. Hill’s railroad vision, and the graphic legacy that later became part of Burlington Northern history. A thoughtful workday accent for rail enthusiasts.
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.
