Very good.The Northern Pacific Railway reporting mark NP was a transcontinental railroad that operated across the northern tier of the western United States from Minnesota to the Pacific Northwest. It was approved by Congress in 1864 and given nearly forty million acres 62000 sq mi; 160000 km2 of land grants which it used to raise money in Europe for construction. Construction began in 1870 and the main line opened all the way from the Great Lakes to the Pacific when former President Ulysses S. Grant drove in the final "golden spike" in western Montana on September 8 1883. The railroad had about 6800 miles 10900 km of track and served a large area including extensive trackage in the states of Idaho Minnesota Montana North Dakota Oregon Washington and Wisconsin. In addition the NP had an international branch to Winnipeg Manitoba Canada. The main activities were shipping wheat and other farm products cattle timber and minerals; bringing in consumer goods transporting passengers; and selling land. The Northern Pacific merged with other lines in 1970 to form the Burlington Northern Railroad which in turn merged with the Santa Fe to become the BNSF Railway in 1996. The main interest here is in the very detailed maps. Northern Pacific Railway Company hardcover

H8228Hardcover. Good. Large dark red leatherette binder housing 54 8x10 photos often accompanied by the original negative marked INVESTIGATION on title sheet from the Pittsburgh law firm McArdle Harrington Feeney & McLaughlin seemingly detailing safety hazards of mainly PA Railroad cars including a few interior shots and some of the train yards showing closeup shots of rust corrosion cracks warping and other issues. McArdle Harrington Feeney & McLaughlin was a well known firm that often was employed by plaintiffs against railroad companies in cases involving personal injury. This may be one of the firm's exhibits used in the case Mignona vs. PA Railroad from 1964 but there are several other possibilities -- all late '50s and early '60s. Some of the photos have an unintended haunting quality to them. hardcover
