BNSF NORTHWEST, A PART of the WHOLE, THE BNSF RAILWAY in the PACIFIC NORTHWEST . Del Grosso. GNP.

BNSF Northwest is a detailed description of BNSF Railway operations within the Northwest since the corporate merger in September 1995. As everyone knows, BNSF in the Northwest is the end result of the railways that came before it. All mainline routes are therefore discussed thoroughly as to their histories. The complete SP&S is represented, NP with its Stampede Pass and “Funnel” route, and GN with its Stevens Pass, Marias Pass and the Hi Line. The BN is discussed as to its operations in the Northwest during its 26-year history. It did far more than was generally given credit for. Included are line closures, its development of the intermodal business, and how it changed the faces of the railroad lines that merged into it. The BNSF is phased in as to how it carried on after the BN. Feature stories include the major commodities that sustain BNSF Northwest, i.e. grain, intermodal and Canadian carload traffic, the new Pacific Coast/I-5 Corridor, and the 7-year track capacity expansion plan that progressed for three years (that included the “Funnel” and reopening Stampede Pass), but was abruptly discontinued after 3 years and never explained. Read how Canadian port and rail operations dented BNSF Northwest in terms of intermodal growth.  In all, this book is packed with historical dates and facts about the GN, NP, SP&S, BN, and the BNSF. It is presented in a dual style of an informative text and guide so the serious historian and railfan can read about and also visit those places. This book has been more than a year in the making and the most definitive historical work done by Mr. Del Grosso. It is also his first all-color hardbound large format reference book • Hardbound • 8½”x 11” format • 128 pages • 110 color photos •
