Follow along as we learn the history behind the Northern Pacific Railroad.

The Northern Pacific Railway, one of the great US transcontinental railroads, was once headquartered in Brainerd, Minnesota. The NP ran from Ashland, Wisconsin, to Seattle, Washington, and St. Paul to Winnipeg, Manitoba. In many ways, the story of the Northern Pacific Railway is the story of America’s transformation into the modern era.
