GREAT NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILWAY - Report #1Land rights have been granted and the Right-of-Way has been cleared.  We now have open spaces to begin construction.  Land surveying is in the works to determine best passage way with allotted amount of land.  Power tools have been gathered from previous borrowers and lumber will arrive soon.  Pictures will be posted soon.The current GNPR will serve the two backwoods towns of Black Diamond and Tincup in the Pacific Northwest and will have interchanges North, South and East to Seattle, Portland and Yakama respectively.Tincup is the smaller of the two towns with a quarry as it's main industry.  There is also a grocer warehouse and large lumber supply near the Tincup depot.  In addition there are a few stores in the area serving the nearby residents.Black Diamond is an industrial town with a fuel depot situated just inside of town as you cross the Green River.  The fuel depot carries oil , coal and wood for home heating.  Along the line is the Black Diamond depot just before entering the main industrial area.  The industrial area is flanked by a large lumber mill and cement plant with a few smaller industrial buildings in between.Just behind the industrial area of Black Diamond is a small yard where interchanges move out North, South and East.There is a lot of work to complete but all are looking forward to beginning construction.  As construction progresses additional reports will be published and photos provided.Owner and Operator of The Great Northern Pacific Railway.
