I thought the Great Northern was located where it was because James Hill was out to battle Canadian Pacific for every ton of freight as revenge for going for an all Canadian route, and not using his existing lines between Chicago and Winnipeg. Run as close to the Canadian border and blow the hills in between seemed to be the idea.
