QUOTE: Originally posted by Rick Gates Yes I sometimes post and almost always read this stuff. Today is a bad day for me. Your encyclopedia info is a bit flawed. Amtrak conductor was hurt....lead AEM-7 was blown up to the size of motorcycle pieces....Most that were killed were in the lead, sparsely occupied cars. The state charge and conviction was vehicular manslaughter by locomotive and some additional Fed charges. If you want more personal insight check out my post here when in this forum less than 2 years ago. Have a nice day.

QUOTE: Originally posted by GN-Rick 1893, this date: the final spike completing the original alignment of the Great Northern Railway was driven, mostly without ceremony, just west of Scenic, Washington.
QUOTE: Originally posted by GN-Rick Yes. this marked the connection of East to West on the GN. The NP was about 5 years earlier.(1888). Of course, the GN still faced a lot of rebuilding and relocating yet, due to James Hill's impatience.And I aqpologize- I am a day early on this. It actually ocurred on the 6th of January, 1893. FYI, the GN was the second Northwest Transcon to be completed to Puget Sound.
