NP 859 |
| Description: |
"From the bridge on the other side of the engine house"--- perhaps there is more here than you might first notice!!! Is that an F3 "B" unit in the engine consist?! You can just barely make out the air tanks for the train &engine brakes on the top of the GP7/9 if you know where 2look!!! This made room 4larger fuel tanks!!! And those might even be 40ft wooden box cars--- i can't really say for sure/ this was 40 years ago, another place &time much different from 2day!!! No personal desk top computers &photo editers then!!! |

Ready For Work |
| Description: |
In the minds of some people, the NP lived in the shadow of the GN. And to others, it just simply was NOT that way! Some thought that it was the "Great Northern"--- Pacific and others thought that it was the Great--- "Northern Pacific"! Was it all done and settled with the coming of the Burlington Northern merger?! Some may have though so, but to others the question is still very much alive. And so for some the debate continues! |

Waiting to be of service |
| Description: |
a classic pair of 300 class geeps just out of the roundhouse and off the turntable at Northtown wait for their next assignment. Whatever the train might be, it looks to me like the dispatcher will be calling it and thus identifying it as "Extra 327 West"! |

waiting for the block to clear |
| Description: |
Having seen these engines come into Northtown where they earlier cutoff from their train, they are now waiting for a double red signal at Park Jct. This NP tower protected the crossing with the Minnesota Transfer which headed north from their yard in the Midway to meet the Soo Line at New Brighton. This light engine was heading east to Mississippi Street in St Paul. |

Extra 375 Eask |
| Description: |
having arrived from the west perhaps as far as Mandan on the Yellowstone Division, here are a pair of NP road switchers with the new simplified paint scheme. Was is "classic NP"?! Not for me, no it was not! But the times they were a changing, as so it was noted in a song by Bob Dylan who was born in Duluth! Most people think or believed that the NP was double track west of the Twin Cities. But that is only partly true. Between Northtown (University Avenue) and St Cloud, it was joint double track with the GN owning the eastward track! |
