Before there was a BNSF, before Burlington Northern even, there was the Great Northern. The original, and foremost amongst the Hill roads, the Great Northern ran from Chicago in the east, over Marias and Stevens Passes, Through eight and a half miles of the Cascade Tunnel, and finally to Seattle on Puget Sound. And Jim Hill built his road to last. The miles of track originally surveyed in the 1880s are still in service today, hauling grain, coal, and container's between the west coast and America's heartland for shipment worldwide. James Hill was known as the Empire Builder and the title can be applied to his railroad too. The Great Northern moved much of the materials used to build the industries of the west coast, including cement. PWRS is proud to announce ACF 2 bay cement service covered hoppers decorated in the classic silver scheme with the red goat logo.
