Here's a really nifty Harvest Time offering for  SEPT.

These models have been equipped with our Full Throttle  couplers, trucks and metal wheelsets.  The 2-pk.carries two new unique Reporting Numbers!

Great Northern Railway was a colorful transcontinental Rail Line (1857-1970) which ran from Chicago northward along the USA/Canada border, serving both nations, and to Washington, Oregon and California on our West Coast. It's famous herald was of a mountain goat within a circle. It eventually merged with NP, CB&Q, and SP&S to form the Burlington Northern Railroad until 1996 when the BN merged with ATSF to become BNSF.

Burlington Northern Railroad was formed in 1970 from the merger of four large railroads, Great Northern, Northern Pacific, Spokane, Portland and Seattle, and the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy. It serviced the Central US, most of the Midwestern States, and the Pacific Northwest. It purchased the ATSF in 1996 to become BNSF, Burlington Northern Santa Fe, one of the four major railroads in the USA!
