Barnes & Noble to Host Book Signing for The Great Northern Railway Through Time

MINOT, N.D. - Sept. 19, 2016 - PRLog -- Barnes & Noble to Host Book Signing for The Great Northern Railway Through Time

Local author, Dale Peterka, will be available to sign copies of book

The Great Northern opened up the Dakotas, Montana, Idaho, the dramatic Cascade Mountains of Washington and the Continental Divide at Marias Pass. President James J. Hill intended the Great Northern to be a freight­hauling road, but tourists riding on the GN's premier passenger train, The Empire Builder were delighted by the prairie, the farmland, the Big Sky Country, the mountains, and Glacier National Park. The G.N.'s reputation grew. Today, Amtrak's Empire Builder traverses the same territory. The Great Northern Railway Through Time presents photos taken over the course of seventy­five years by photographers of the era. The author has provided ample photo captions pointing out features that have changed over the years and features that have stayed the same. The early photos are fresh―never before published. The more recent shots were made by twenty of America's finest rail enthusiast photographers.

Highlights from the Book:

· The book features locations and subjects in five states, extending two thousand miles.

· The Glacier National Park, featured in the book, is celebrating its 100th anniversary this summer.

· Every day, hundreds of people ride the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) premier train, The Empire Builder.
