The Great Northern Railway highlights the changes brought on by economic, political, social, and technological advances, including world wars, increased competition from other modes of transportation, and tighter government restrictions. The first part of the book (1856 1916) examines the railway s early strategies and philosophy, relations with employees, and vigorous campaigns to develop the service area. The second part of the history (1916 1970) offers an assessment of a dramatic period of transition for the railroad international conflicts, the Great Depression, the rise of motor vehicles, increasing labor costs, and stronger unions.
Illustrated with more than two hundred maps, period photographs, and drawings, the volume also includes appendixes listing the original track-laying history, track removals, ruling grades on main freight routes, and main line ruling grades from Minneapolis to Seattle.
