GN_Misc GN_Misc  Miscellaneous GN-related items - smaller collections or items that don't fit neatly into existing categories. We'll start with some 103-yr old Eureka, MT train orders, courtesy Doug Wingfield of Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. Per Doug "I received these from the operator at Eureka in 1967 or 68 when he was cleaning out the attic in the station in anticipation of the main line through Eureka being closed because of the opening of the Flathead Tunnel.  There were boxes of old documents and I am sure only a few were saved such as these."  Also GN Equipment Lists from several years, scanned by Don Pavia of Bellingham, WA. If you're interested in ALL-TIME lists showing dates built/purchased and retired for every piece of GN and predecessor equipment, from the St.Paul & Pacific forward, two CDs are available, covering both MoW and passenger equipment. Contact Ken Middleton at krmiddle@worldnet.att.net for ordering information.  20 3 weeks ago

GN_AFE_List GN_AFE_List  This is an index to the "Applications For Expenditures" files which were project files for all purchases, construction or removal of facilities or equipment from the GN or NP property. These files may contain correspondence, invoices, blueprints and other project information, and often contain insight into events or changes in a specific area at a point in time. AFE file contents are not available digitally, so this index provides a guide to researchers contemplating a visit to the physical archives at Jackson Street Roundhouse in St. Paul (JSRH).  Each of the nearly 100,000 entries was entered by hand, so you will note some duplicates and misspellings.  CLICK on column headings like "Location" to filter or sort for specific items.  99492 6 weeks ago
GN_AFE_Mattson GN_AFE_Mattson  This index to "Applications For Expenditures" files saved from GN's Seattle Engineering offices was compiled by Jim Mattson. See "GN_AFE_List" for more about AFEs. Entries here may differ from that list, as they were compiled from different physical collections.  You'll find the lists here more complete for "west end" locations in Washington, Oregon, British Columbia, Idaho and western Montana. CLICK on column headings like "Location" to filter or sort for specific items.

GN_Depots GN_Depots  GN depots and related photos from the collection of Charles W. Bohi.  Both pre-and post-merger scenes.  Most photos by Bohi, some by Todd Minsk. All rights reserved.  293 4 weeks ago
GN_Interlockings GN_Interlockings  This information began as a snapshot of the interlockings that existed on the Great Northern System in 1935, including GN's Canadian interests. It now includes some newer installations as well. Please recognise that this is a work in progress and incomplete. By this time there had been towers and other interlockings built, modified and closed. Some of the locations listed have no closing date known to me. Some of these may have been closed by 1935. The Canadian information is very hard to obtain and the group I am involved with this research has provided a lot of the information. Certain individuals have helped out a great deal, notably Hudson Leighton. Any additions/comments/corrections would be very much appreciated. Thank you all in advance  --- Peter Thompson, Nottingham, England  (thompsonpe AT aol.com)
