Subject: RE: ADD: Railroading on the Great Divide
Joe, Thanks for providing this wonderful reference. My dad worked for the Great Northern Railroad in Montana, along with alot of his relatives who came out here for the jobs.He started when he was 14, in 1906, carrying ties. He retired in 1966, before its merger with the Burlington and the Northern Pacific routes. I have lots of wonderful memorabilia from his career... Great Northern and Glacier Park related items. Thanks again for the book reference.
