Description
The Northern Pacific Railroad (NP) was a major US railroad that served the north-central and north-western portions of the country, with a small amount of trackage into Canada. It had lines in Idaho, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, Washington and Wisconsin in the US, plus Manitoba and British Columbia in Canada. The NP operated several famous "named" trains, to include the North Coast Limited and the Mainstreeter. The NP merged with three other railroads in 1970 to form the Burlington Northern and ceased to exist as a corporate entity. Surviving trackage is now a part of BNSF.
