Help a new member with some research?
Author: adamant69

Can anyone tell me where to find out which Great Northern engines ran between Spokane and Kettle Falls before the BN merger?  I'm new to the hobby and my internet searches are pretty hamfisted at this point.  Thanks in advance...

Welcome to Trainorders! This would be an excellent place to start:

I'd contact them for further specific info.

Hello,

This is the place I'd contact:

http://pnrarchive.org/SitePages/Home.aspx

I understand they have over 20,000 train dispatcher's sheets from the PNW area, many of them GN for the territory and years you're interested in.  Somewhere in that collection you'd most likely find exactly what you're looking for (and much more).

Take care,

Mark
