Northern Pacific Railway Heavy Knit Quarter-Zip Sweatshirt
The Northern Pacific Railway heavy knit quarter-zip sweatshirt is built around the enduring appeal of northern rail history. Chartered in 1864, NP pushed from Minnesota and Washington Territory toward a completed transcontinental route in 1883, linking the Great Lakes region with Puget Sound. The line’s NP mark, North Coast Limited reputation, and eventual Burlington Northern connection continue to resonate with railroad collectors. Wear it for cool travel days, train events, museum walks, or relaxed moments when classic American industry deserves the spotlight.
Northern Pacific Railway, reporting mark NP, was chartered by the U.S. Congress on July 2, 1864, to link the Great Lakes with Puget Sound. Groundbreaking began at Carlton, Minnesota, on February 15, 1870. Construction moved west through Minnesota and Dakota Territory while another section advanced from Kalama, Washington Territory. The line reached Fargo in 1872 and the upper Missouri River at Edwinton, later Bismarck, in 1873. After financial crises and reorganizations, the transcontinental main line was completed in Montana Territory on September 8, 1883, when former President Ulysses S. Grant drove the ceremonial Last Spike. Headquartered first in Brainerd and later Saint Paul, Minnesota, the railway served the northern West with freight, passengers, and land sales. Its flagship was the North Coast Limited. Northern Pacific operated until 1970, when it merged with other lines to form Burlington Northern Railroad. Burlington Northern merged with Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe in 1996 to become BNSF Railway.
