Northern Pacific 4-8-4 26511 rumbles high above the Sheyenne River valley as it rolls a freight west at Valley City,
North Dakota. The NP in 1926 ordered the first 4-8-4 type locomotives, which were at first dubbed the "Northern Pacific"
type, soon shortened to Northern.

At St. Paul Union Depot, Great Northern 4-8-4 2585 backs down to couple onto the Empire Builder, in from Chicago via
the Burlington Route. Getting under way is Omaha Road (a Chicago & North Western affiliate) heavy Pacific 602 with
an Omaha-Minneapolis train. Off to the side in this 1945 scene is the union depot company's GE 44-ton diesel, No. 441.

A 4-8-4 leads a freight east across the Lackawanna Railroad's colossal Pequest Fill. At more than 3 miles long, Pequest
was a major feature of the road's 28.5-mile cutoff across the rough terrain of northern New Jersey.
The line below is the Lehigh & Hudson River Railroad.
