[edit] Revert reason
While the date listed looked reasonable, a quick Google for "Jule Hannaford" returns no documents that I can see to connect the name to NP. Please cite your sources if you reinsert this data. Slambo (Speak) 16:04, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] GA Re-Review and In-line citations
Members of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles are in the process of doing a re-review of current Good Article listings to ensure compliance with the standards of the Good Article Criteria. (Discussion of the changes and re-review can be found here). A significant change to the GA criteria is the mandatory use of some sort of in-line citation (In accordance to WP:CITE) to be used in order for an article to pass the verification and reference criteria. Currently this article does not include in-line citations. It is recommended that the article's editors take a look at the inclusion of in-line citations as well as how the article stacks up against the rest of the Good Article criteria. GA reviewers will give you at least a week's time from the date of this notice to work on the in-line citations before doing a full re-review and deciding if the article still merits being considered a Good Article or would need to be de-listed. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us on the Good Article project talk page or you may contact me personally. On behalf of the Good Articles Project, I want to thank you for all the time and effort that you have put into working on this article and improving the overall quality of the Wikipedia project.

[edit] Presidents section needs cleanup
While the information added to this section is useful, it really needs to be copyedited for tone, putting in the correct tense, etc. Unfortunately I don't have time for this at the moment, but I will get to it eventually, if no-one else can. →Ollie (talk • contribs) 12:02, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Comment on Amtrak North Coast Hiawatha service
In the mid 1970s, the North Coast Limited service was restarted by Amtrak as the North Coast Hiawatha operating via the Milwaukee Road mainline between Chicago and Minneapolis. The train continued running on a 3 day a week schedule until it was again discontinued in 1979.
--- It might be mentioned that the North Coast Hiawatha then operated Minneapolis-Seattle via mostly the former Northern Pacific - certainly west of N. Dakoka. Not sure about routing in the Dakotas and Minnesota. The above leaves the impression the train was curtailed to run only between these two cities. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 198.238.241.121 (talk) 21:30, 8 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Photos
What? No pix of NP locomotives? Or depots? Sca 02:32, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- I don't have any suitable free images in my own collection, and I haven't seen any on commons yet. If you've got some, you're welcome to add them. Slambo (Speak) 10:32, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

- I might be able to get an old family photo scanned. Shows a Pacific-type in snow in N.D. Sca 16:57, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

- Way cool. The direct contacts that I have here are officials with the Monon, Milwaukee Road, Soo Line and CNW historical societies. While it's possible that there are some photos each may have that would be suitable, it's certainly not as likely. However, now that I think of it, I'm doing a model railroad show with a prominent member of the Burlington Northern society (Friends of the Burlington Northern) this weekend. I'll see what he can do to help in this regard. Slambo (Speak) 17:12, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
