Dated 1917, this booklet is similar to one we have seen from 1923 and not quite so similar to one from 1935. Although this booklet has a color cover, while the 1923 booklet is sepia, many of the graphics in the two booklets are similar. However, the text, while following the same outline, is completely different.

Although the cover seems to give equal attention to the seashore and the mountains, the interior devotes eight pages to the coast and just three to the mountains (and one of those is to areas in the Columbia River Gorge, which is arguably not the mountains). There is also a page on the Willamette Valley that mentions some mountain resorts accessible from the valley. However, it is clear that the SP&S considered Clatsop Beach to hold the same significance for it as Glacier Park held for parent Great Northern.

The first 10 pages of text in this booklet are almost identical to those in the 1963 edition shown here a few days ago. New information has been added to the last page or so.

There’s an interesting difference in typefaces. The 1963 edition looks like it is double-spaced typewritten, but a close scrutiny reveals it used a proportional-spaced font (i.e., “w” is wider than “i”). IBM Selectrics were introduced in 1961, but couldn’t use proportional-spaced fonts until many years later, so these pages must have been printed some other way.

The somewhat ghost-like cover is appropriate, as this was the 80th and last annual report of the Great Northern Railway. Although the Burlington Northern merger did not officially take place until March 2, 1970, the merged railroad put out a joint annual report for 1969, a copy of which can be downloaded from the Northern Pacific Railway Historical Association web site.

Here are four timetables with the same covers and nearly the same contents. Sadly, some trains disappeared between June 1967, the date of the first timetable, and April 1969, the date of the last one. But all four are still 28 pages long.

Big Sky Blue is the theme of this annual report. Passenger trains were no longer important enough to rate a cover photo, even in the new color scheme, but page 2 has a familiar yet still striking photo of a Big Sky Blue Empire Builder crossing Two Medicine Bridge just east of Glacier National Park.

Great Northern’s passenger revenues increased yet again in 1966, this time thanks to bus and airline strikes. Still, passenger costs exceeded revenues, making passenger service an “enigma” for the railway.

Overall, the GN did well in 1966, with operating expenses falling to 73.8 percent of revenues, “the best operating ratio in many years.” President Budd was upset that the Interstate Commerce Commission had rejected GN’s application to merge with the NP, but the ICC then reopened the case, giving hope to those who wanted to keep the Hill lines together.

This is my favorite Great Northern timetable cover as it shows the Empire Builder in all its glory passing by mountains in Glacier National Park. It also shows that you can’t see much of those mountains, even from the dome car, because they are mostly obscured by trees.

The cover photo of this report is almost identical to a black-and-white photo on page 7 of the 1964 report. The two photos were obviously taken the same day as the piggy-back trailers are in exactly the same spot. The clouds have moved a bit while the photographer switched from color to black-and-white film (probably just switching cameras on the tripod). The man in the lower right of the photo is also in the 1964 photo having moved only slightly, showing that he was posing for the camera.

Amazingly, considering the nationwide decline in passenger traffic elsewhere, passenger revenue grew again in 1965, as it had in 1964 and 1962.

Great Northern 1965 Route Map

Except for the cover and the colors, this along-the-way map is almost identical to the 1967 Big Sky Blue version presented here a little more than a year ago. The changes, of course, reflect the change in GN’s color scheme; the soft browns of the 1965 version are probably homage to the Empire Builder‘s Ranch Car.

I like blue, but the simplified Big Sky Blue color scheme failed to match the sophistication of the streamlined Empire Builder‘s orange-and-green colors, with yellow pinstripes (plus one white pinstripe) and the highly original Empire Builder font. Similarly, the cover of this 1965 map suggests a gorgeous trip through America’s adventure land, while the stark white 1967 cover failed to show anything but corporate branding with a slightly altered version (only the G in Great was changed) of the Helvetica font.

In 1960, Great Northern sold its Glacier Park hotel chain to Don Hummel, who happened to be mayor of Tucson at the time. Hummel also ran concessions in Lassen and Mount McKinley national parks.

Hummel later wrote a book, Stealing the National Parks, complaining about efforts to “lock up” national park lands as wilderness and an apparent bias within the Park Service against concessioners. Hummel probably didn’t realize that the reason for the bias was not because the Park Service was run by wilderness advocates but because the agency was not allowed to keep any of the fees paid by concessioners to use the parks, so had no incentive to try to keep them happy.
