Add railroad heritage to the daily desk with this Northern Pacific Railway mouse pad. The NP name recalls a transcontinental route that connected the upper Midwest and Pacific Northwest from 1864 until its 1970 merger into Burlington Northern. From Carlton and Fargo through Montana to Tacoma and Puget Sound, the railway remains a favorite subject for collectors and train fans. It is a practical desk accent for work, study, gaming, planning trips, or exploring the history behind the North Coast Limited.
Northern Pacific Railway, reporting mark NP, was an American transcontinental railroad operating from Minnesota to the Pacific Northwest from 1864 to 1970. Congress chartered the company on July 2, 1864, to connect the Great Lakes with Puget Sound. Groundbreaking followed at Carlton, Minnesota, on February 15, 1870. The line reached Fargo in 1872 and the upper Missouri River in 1873, while Tacoma was selected as its western terminus that year. After financial crises and reorganizations, construction resumed, and Ulysses S. Grant drove the ceremonial final spike in western Montana Territory on September 8, 1883. Headquartered first in Brainerd and later Saint Paul, Minnesota, NP served Idaho, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, Washington, and Wisconsin. Its North Coast Limited was the flagship passenger train. Northern Pacific merged with other lines in 1970 to form Burlington Northern Railroad. Burlington Northern later merged with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway in 1996, creating BNSF Railway.
