Northern Pacific 4 page brochure detailing its locomotives of past and (then) present. This is the entire brochure. This is a photo of the Timken 1111, an experimental steam engine built for the en:Timken Roller Bearing Company by ALCO. The locomotive passed through many railroads as a demonstrator model, but when it got to the Northern Pacific, it suffered damage while pulling NP's North Coast Limited. Timken appealed to NP to repair and return the locomotive, but NP's policy was to only repair locomotives it owned. NP then purchased the locomotive from Timken. This locomotive was in service to NP from 1933 until 1957. The Timken Company wanted to re-purchase the locomotive from NP to save it from being scrapped. Before the railroad and the bearing company could reach agreement, Timken 1111 was scrapped.
Date
No date shown. Front cover indicates the NP's address had a zone number, and not a Zip Code, likely pre-1964. The brochure shows an en:EMD GP9 as a then current switcher. The last of this model was built in 1963. NP merged with Chicago, Burlington & Quincy in 1970, creating a railroad with a new name-Burlington Northern. Between 1963 and 1970.
The brochure has no copyright markings on it as can be seen in the links above.
