I grew up around the Northern Pacific, Great Northern, Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, Chicago and Northwestern, Milwaukee Road, Soo Line, Duluth Mesabi and Iron Range and a short line south of Minneapolis called the Minneapolis Northfield and Southern. As a kid, I liked the Northern Pacific's North Coast Limited and the N.P.'s slogan "Northern Pacific, really terrific, that' what everyone who rides it, says"! I like the Northern Pacific look of their steam locos and the overall black with yellowish gold trim on the diesels. Since I am proud of the fact I live "Up North", the first Northern Trans-continental and the second overall transcontinental monikers are neat aspects of this line. I also have a soft spot in my heart for the Mesabi Road. The DMIR was what Minnesota was all about, when the Iron Range helped make America out of Steel. Minnesota has always been a part of the strong backbone of this country and the railroads which were a part of Minnesota's heritage rank high on my list of interests. <br /> <br />Wow, I oughta run for politics!
