image items, 32 oversize volumes, and 3 oversize boxes.
412 boxes, 20 film reels, 4 VHS tapes,
32 oversize volumes, and 3 oversize boxes.
Materials in this collection are generally in good structural condition but are quite dusty. Most materials were housed in poor conditins prior to donation to the Archives. Such materials accumulated extensive amounts of dust and pollens; some sustained minor water damage; and several bound volumes are shedding leather debris.
The Northern Pacific Railway Company was
a transcontinental railroad that crossed Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota,
Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. This collection includes both bound and
unbound correspondence, construction and expense reports, financial ledgers,
right-of-way descriptions and maps, activity logs, publicity materials
(including photographs and film reels), and personnel records created by
employees of the Northern Pacific Railway Company and its subsidiary lines
between the years 1870 and 1968--though materials are predominantly from the
late 1880s through the early 1940s.

Historical Note
The first survey for a northern route to the Pacific was conducted by
the War Department in 1853. The Northern Pacific Railroad Company was organized
in 1864 with Josiah Perman as president. Construction began at Carlton,
Minnesota, in February 1870, with an initial operation of 125 miles. That same
year, construction began at Kalama, Washington Territory, near Portland,
Oregon, and that line was extended to New Tacoma, Washington Territory, by
1873. The company was reorganized in the wake of financial troubles in 1875.
The western and eastern lines joined at Gold Creek, Montana, in 1883. The real
completion date was 1888 when the tunnel through Stampede Pass, Washington, was
opened, replacing a switchback line over that pass. The company was reorganized
for a second time in 1896 as the Northern Pacific Railway Company.
The company’s lines were organized into divisions. According to the
1881 annual report, the divisions were as follows:
Wisconsin Division: Brainerd, Minnesota to Dulluth, Minnesota
Minnesota Division: Minnesota/North Dakota border to Great Lakes
Dakota Division: Bismarck, North Dakota to North Dakota/Minnesota
border
Missouri Division: Bismarck, North Dakota to Miles City, Montana
Yellowstone Division: Miles City, Montana to Livingston, Montana
Rocky Mountain Division: Livingston, Montana to Missoula, Montana
Clark’s Fork Division: Missoula, Montana to Montana/Idaho border
Pend D’Oreille Division: Montana/Idaho border to Ainsworth,
Washington
Cascade Division: Ainsworth, Washington to Tacoma, Washington
Pacific Division: Tacoma, Washington to Portland, Oregon
The geographic boundaries of divisions changed over time. They were
originally based on the distance an engine could go before it needed service
and fuel, a distance that became greater with changes in engine technology.
Under its charter, the Northern Pacific could not build branch lines
to feed into the main line. In order to meet its needs for feeder lines and
other cooperative transportation ventures, the main company formed separate
corporations to construct connecting lines. These small rail and other
transportation lines were then sold to the parent company, which under its
charter was able to acquire previously constructed lines.
The Astoria and Columbia River Railroad Company was incorporated on
April 4, 1895. It operated between Seaside and Goble, Oregon, from May 1898 to
March 1911. Its predecessor was the Seashore Railroad Company. By 1909 it was
an operating subsidiary of the Spokane, Portland and Seattle Railway Company
until the two companies merged in 1911.

first division of the St. Paul and Pacific Railroad Co. completed its first
line from St. Paul to Minneapolis in 1862. The Great Northern Railway Company
was formed on September 18, 1889 and involved the purchase or absorption of
these and numerous other lines. Originally operating in Minnesota and the
Midwest, the company completed its line from Duluth and St. Paul, Minnesota, to
Everett and Seattle, Washington in 1893. It was the only line to build to the
west coast without federal land grants.
The Green River and Northern Railroad Company was incorporated on

The Northern Pacific carried passengers and freight throughout the
western United States and was crucial part of the settlement and commerce of
the area. In 1970, the Northern Pacific, the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy,
and the Great Northern merged to form Burlington Northern Railroad Company.
This collection includes both bound and unbound correspondence,
construction and expense reports, financial ledgers, right-of-way descriptions
and maps, activity logs, publicity materials (including photographs and film
reels), and personnel records created by employees of the Northern Pacific
Railway Company and its subsidiary lines between the years 1870 and
1968--though materials are predominantly from the late 1880s through the early
1940s.
The Northern Pacific Railway Records present an extensive and detailed
resource for researching railroad corporate management structures, land
ownership histories for railroad associated properties (particularly in North
Dakota, Montana, Idaho, and Washington state), economic impacts created by
railroad construction and repair, corporate investment into raw material
production for cheap construction supplies (particularly timber), and NPRR
marketing strategies spanning a period of dramatic social and economic change
in the American West. Correspondence records in this collection provide
significant insights into prevailing railroad management structures during the
late 19th and early 20th Centuries--when the rail industry dominated the
social, economic, and political realms of rural American life. As was common
during the time period, NPRR field operation managers were required to be
technical experts as well as administrators. The records generated and/or
compiled by the railroad's engineering staff reveal this complex balance of
designing construction projects, scheduling traffic flows, and managing
day-to-day operations. Rights-of-way documents, property maps, and construction
drawings form a uniquely valuable resource for researching individual real
estate histories and large-scale settlement patterns. The financial records in
this collection provide detailed accounts of occupations and pay schedules for
railroad personnel, the corporation's purchases of construction materials and
sundry supplies (often specific to individual stations), and freight volumes
carried from the region to national markets. The NPRR promotional department
records in this collection preserve sometimes overt and often subtle techniques
intended to both create and reinforce the railroad's preferred images of life
in the Rocky Mountain West and Pacific Northwest. These promotional materials
form a particularly interesting body of evidence for comparison and contrast
with perceptions presented by contemporary regional literatures as well as the
department's focus on highlighting agricultural abundance during periods of
drought and farm foreclosures.
Materials in this collection were predominantly generated or compiled
by engineering and promotions personnel. For the most part, engineering
department recording procedures are consistent; however, the materials in
sub-group 2 were generated by subsidiary and associated rail lines that reflect
widely varrying recording policies and project goals. Additionally, NPRR
engineers tended to move frequently, causing some degree of discontinuity.
The collection is divided into three subgroups: Engineering
Department; Branch Lines, Predecessors and Related Companies; and Advertising
and Publicity Department.

The custodial history of these records is largely unknown. One group
of records received in 1970 had been stored in the Northern Pacific depot in
Missoula, Montana, until their transfer to the archives after the creation of
Burlington Northern Railroad. Some of the materials may have been discarded
from the Minnesota Historical Society’s NPRR collection, or may have been
received directly from the NPRR.
Gift, in part, of Burlington Northern Railroad, 1970.
The collection was originally received in three major and three minor
accessions that were processed as LC 128, LC 141, LC 178, SC 218, SC 319, Film
collection 3, and Video collection 7. Some of the photographs had been
transferred to the archives photograph collection, but a significant number
remained unprocessed.
In 2003, these collections were combined, identified, and extensively
re-described. Arrangement was based largely on the corporate divisions and
arrangement identified by the Minnesota Historical Society. Boxes 43-51 from LC
178, routine correspondence from the Assistant General Freight Agent in
Minneapolis, Minnesota, were discarded. Authorities for Expenditure from LC
178, boxes 1-42, were transferred to the Minnesota Transportation Museum in May
2003.
Photographs were integrated into two series according to purpose of
origin. Photographs intended as a documentary record for railway
operations--for example construction projects, railroad facilities, engines,
and personnel--were assigned to Series XXII. The majority of materials in
Series XXII are identified and described individually, with reference to
location and date as such information could be established; however, the series
also includes some grouped photographs recovered from a separated collection
and integrated in 2003. Photographs intended for promotional purposes--for
example promoting the agricultural abundance of the communities serviced by the
railway, landscapes along the various routes, and promotional exhibits--were
assigned to Series LXI. Materials in Series LXI are identified and described in
groups according to subject matter. However, some promotional photographs are
present in Series XXII. These photographs were individually indentified and
described during original processing. During 2003 reprocessing these
photographs were assigned to Series XXII to retain their individualized
research references. During original processing photographs were assigned
identification numbers according to the year and order in which they were
processed. During 2003 reprocessing all previously processed photographs were
assigned new reference numbers to reflect their relationship within the larger
collection--regardless of year. Please refer to the scope and notes comments
for Series XXII and LXI to gain further details on photograph processing.
Film and video materials that were seperated from the collection
during original processing were reintegrated in 2003 as one series (LX). All
collection VHS tapes are duplicates of film reels. For each instance of a
one-to-one relationship, tapes were assigned a common reference number to the
film reel original. One VHS tape contains transfers of several film reels. In
this one instance the VHS tape was assigned a unique reference number. In 2025, a microfilm reel of two waybill ledgers from freight received at (Horse) Plains, Montana was added to Series V.
The archives thanks Missoula railroad historians Bill and Janyce
Taylor for their assistance with the processing.
All previously separated materials were either re-integrated into the
collection as described in the processing notes or were deaccessioned.
The majority of the Northern Pacific Records are held by the Minnesota
Historical Society in St. Paul, Minnesota. Their collection includes
approximately 10,600 cubic feet of records that date from 1861 to 1970.
There are also numerous records held by the Minnesota Transportation
Museum in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Minnesota State University in Mankato holds a collection of NPRR
pamphlets.

Subgroup 1
Engineering Department
1870-1968
165.25 linear feet and 14
oversize volumes
This subgroup contains materials generated by employees of the
Engineering Department of the Northern Pacific Railway's primary rail lines.
Series III through XX contain records generated by the geographic divisions the
railway established for hierarchial management (largely defined by state
borders and more localized spurs). Series I and II contain records related to
constructing and managing the primary lines spanning these geographic
divisions. Materials primarily consist of records generated or compiled by NPRR
Engineering Department managers (usually identified as "chief engineer,"
"assistant engineer," or "engineer in charge") regarding property acquistions,
construction projects, repair work, station activities, line traffic,
production numbers from subsidiary operations, and general management.
These materials provide significant primary resources for
examining railroad corporate management structures, land ownership histories
for properties associated with the main railroad lines and spurs, regional and
localized economic impacts created by railroad construction and repair, and
cycles of railroad investment into timber harvesting as a source for cheap
construction materials. Information in this series is primarily presented
through general correspondence, bound financial ledgers, compiled tracking
reports and narrative summaries, blue print diagrams and maps, and day books
maintained by unidentified railroad staff. Throughout this subgroup the phrase
"Force Reports" in folder titles refers to reports filed by line engineers
regarding actual and projected personnel hours (work force) for construction
and repair projects.
Series I
Main Line General
1870-1965
22 linear feet and 3
oversize volumes
This series includes materials related to constructing and
managing the NPRR's primary rail line, with particular attention to the Montana
and Idaho legs. This series is further divided into nine subseries highlighting
some of the most intensive construction projects--such as line changes,
tunnels, and re-gradings. Construction planning correspondence, cost estimates,
material requisitions, progress summaries, work force reports, billing records,
rights-of-way documents, and design diagrams predominate the series. These
materials form an extensive record of the railroad's contributions to and
impacts upon the region over nearly 100 years. Construction records provide
detailed accounts of local and imported supplies, work force numbers and pay
schedules, large- and small-scale landscape transformations, and land ownership
patterns.
This series also contains a few daily logs of station activities
and line traffic, providing insights into the railroad's role within rural
communities. Additionally, the series includes several folders of collected
speeches and writings. None of the speeches in this series are attributed to an
author and they appear to be intended for delivery to local civic groups. Most
speeches are accompanied by newspaper articles and pamphlets--apparently
research sources. The speeches and writings sequence includes a few brief
histories of the Northern Pacific line and the communities along its routes.
These histories are written from the perspective of the Northern Pacific (such
that the history of a place tends to begin when the railroad arrived) and
appear to be intended as light reading for passengers on cross-country trips.
The speeches and writings sequence also includes foreign language promotional
materials--mostly Eastern European languages--promoting the agricutlural
abundance of lands along the rail line.

Series II
Second Main Line
1905-1956
33 linear feet
This series includes materials related to constructing and
managing the NPRR's second main rail line. As with Series I, materials in this
series exhibit particular attention to the Montana leg of the line; however,
they also include records from the Minnesota and Washington state legs. This
series is further divided into five subseries--the largest of which details
construction projects and traffic reports for the leg between Garrison and
Missoula, Montana. Survey records, construction planning correspondence, cost
estimates, material requisitions, progress summaries, work force reports,
billing records, rights-of-way documents, and design diagrams predominate the
series. Construction records detail local and imported supplies as well as work
force numbers and pay schedules. Correspondence records provide insights into
the challenges engineers faced in designing multiple river crossings due to
narrow canyons, procedures and rationales for subcontracting work projects, and
long-term operations problems (such as derailments and mud/rock slides).
Subseries 2, regarding the Garrison to Missoula leg, includes a
notable sequence of correspondence, encroachment agreements, and construction
designs intended to mitigate the proximity of Northern Pacific Railroad and
Milwaukee Railroad lines through narrow stretches of the Clark Fork River
valley, particularly near Bearmouth and Clinton, Montana.

statewide expense summaries presented through an account balance format--as
opposed to the project-by-project budgets present in the reports compiled by
field staff.

Idaho Division
(Montana/Idaho)
1881-1900
1.0 linear feet
This series includes bound correspondence and financial records
generated by the Chief Engineers of the Idaho Division of the Northern Pacific.
Financial records include detailed reports regarding contruction material
costs, production numbers from the Ellisport (Idaho) lumber mill, passenger
manifests, and station activities--particularly from Wallace, Idaho. These
latter records evidence the economic prominence of Wallace in the Idaho
panhandle prior to the devasting forest fires of 1910 that burned much of the
town and transformed the region's economic patterns.

Clarks Fork and Pend d’Oreille
Division (Montana/Idaho)
1881-1910
3.5 linear feet
This series consists of correspondence and financial records
generated by the Clarks Fork and Pend d’Oreille Division, operating in western
Montana and northern Idaho. Correspondence materials primarily describe line
repair projects and traffic summaries. Financial records primarily detail
production numbers and shipments (incoming and outgoing) for the NPRR's lumber
yard in Hope, Idaho. Processed lumber from this yard was a significant source
for the railroad's construction projects throughout the region. The absence of
records after 1910 may reflect the impact of the 1910 forest fires that heavily
impacted the region.

Missoula Division
(Montana/Idaho)
1906-1909
6.0 linear feet
This series consists of correspondence, financial, and personnel
records generated by the Missoula Division, operating in western Montana and
northern Idaho. Correspondence materials primarily describe line construction
and repair projects as well as traffic summaries. Construction records (both
correspondence and financial journals) detail local and imported supplies as
well as project progress reports. Personnel records in this series provide
insights into the buying habits of railroad employees who used payroll vouchers
to purchase goods from the company (stations and dining cars). In addition,
this series includes a file detailing next-of-kin information for employees at
the Drummond, Montana, station and may serve as a valuable resource for
geneological studies and local history surveys.

Series IX
Rocky Mountain Division
(Montana/Idaho)
1882-1961
25.0 linear feet
This series consists of correspondence, financial, personnel,
and construction records generated by the Rocky Mountain Division of the NPRR
line. The Rocky Mountain Division spanned most of Montana and this series
includes several distinct and extensive sequences of materials documenting
construction projects, management of multiple branch lines, construction
blueprints, internal and outgoing correspondence, and station histories.
Construction records (both correspondence and financial journals) detail local
and imported supplies as well as project progress reports. Many contruction
records in this series also include blueprint details for site preparation and
design. Branch lines records include Boulder, Bozeman, Camp Creek, Couer
d'Alene, Phillipsburg, Red Bluff, and Ruby Valley. This series contains
extensive blueprints for the branch lines listed above. In addition to the
branch line sequences, this series includes extensive records regarding
redesign and repair of the Missoula to Garrison leg.
Internal correspondence records address construction projects,
company policies, and aquisition procedures. Outgoing correspondence records
predominantly detail rights-of-way inquiries, land acquisition negotiations,
grazing leases for railroad properties, and frieght negotiations with clients.
This sequence (organized by the community or rail line closest to the
recipient) presents extensive documentation of land ownership patterns, grazing
patterns, and agricultural production numbers. Often clients compiled several
years of production numbers into a single report to bolster their requests for
frieght rate adjustments. Station and changing yard reports provide detailed
historical and contemporary accounts of design intentions, community
contributions, renovation projects, cycles of traffic volume and spur
connections, prominent managers, colorful characters associated with the
stations, and generally how the stations fit wihin the context of the larger
community. In addition, financial and personnel records in this series lend
insights into the menus offered by station cafeterias, dining cars, and work
camp cooks.

Series XXII
Photographs
1882-1959
2.0 linear feet and 1
oversize box
This series contains photographs intended as a documentary
record for railway operations--such as construction projects, railroad
facilities, engines, and work conditions--though some promotional photographs
are present as well. Photographs in this series constitute a valuable resource
documenting landscapes, towns, community events, rural life, work crews, rail
infrastructures, and weather events throughout the high plains and montane
valleys of the central and western United States--as well as spanning eighty
years of dramatic physical, economic, and social change. Materials in this
series exhibit several distinct sequences of image themes. Among these are
extensive Montana bridge, station, and change yard sequences (often identified
by location or structural number but seldom both). Billings, Bozeman, Brockway,
Circle, Glendive, Lindsay, and Missoula, Montana--and their respective outlying
areas--are among the communities most significantly documented by the images in
this series.
Another extensive image sequence documents the possessions,
staple crops, and vistas of Mission Valley (Montana) homestead families during
the late 1920s. The Mission Valley photographs were captured for promotional
purposes, as opposed to the construction and facility images that dominate this
series. Another promotional image sequence includes produce being carried to
market. These promotional photographs were primarily intended to convey
perceptions of abundance and help the railroad sell rail accessible farm
plots.
The majority of materials in this series are identified and
described individually, with reference to location and date whenever such
information could be established; however, the series also includes some
grouped photographs recovered from a separated collection. Photographs
individually identified and described during original processing were assigned
identification numbers according to the year and order in which they were
processed. During reprocessing all these photographs were assigned new
reference numbers to reflect their relationship within the larger
collection--regardless of year--though the original numbers are noted in
brackets for cross-reference.
Photographs in boxes 396, 397, and OS1 are not individually
processed. These materials are grouped by subject following the titles imposed
upon them after they were seperated from the original collection and before
they were donated to the K. Ross Toole Archives. The conditions and purposes
under which these materials were originally separated are unknown.

Subgroup 2
Branch Lines, Predecessors and
Related Companies
1881-1960
60.75 linear feet and 18
oversize volumes
This subgroup contains materials generated by employees of the
branch, predecessor, and subsidiary lines associated with the Northern Pacific
Railway Company. These materials were primarily generated by Engineering
Department personnel and descriptive terminology is generally consistent with
that of Subgroup 1. This subgroup consists of 37 series--most of which are
essentially small fragments of the unit's original operations records.
Materials include property acquistion correspondence, construction project
records (correspondence, financial, and legal records), progress reports, line
traffic summaries, and personnel documents.
These materials provide significant primary resources for
examining railroad corporate management structures, land ownership histories
for properties associated with branch and subsidiary lines as well as regional
and localized economic impacts created by railroad construction and repair.
Information in this series is primarily presented through general
correspondence, bound financial ledgers, compiled tracking reports and
narrative summaries, blue print diagrams and maps, and day books maintained by
unidentified railroad staff. Throughout this subgroup the phrase "Force
Reports" in folder titles refers to reports filed by line engineers regarding
actual and projected personnel hours (work force) for construction and repair
projects.
Historical and contextual information for some of the branch,
predecessor, and related rail lines in this subgroup is very limited. Whenever
possible, the scope and notes for each series identify the geographic location
of the lines and dates for incoporation into the NPRR system.

Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
Railroad Company
1900-1960
5.5 linear feet
The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad Company operated
main lines from Chicago, IL, to St. Paul, Minnesota, and to St. Louis, MO, and
Cody, Wyoming. The CBQRR operated as an affiliated line to the NPRR until 1970
when (with the NPRR) it became a part of the Burlington Northern Railroad
Company. This series contains extensive sequences of general correspondence and
blueprints from several spurs of the Wyoming Division within the railroad
company such as those to Casper, Cody, Worland, Garland, Greybull, and Kane.
Blueprints in this series are particularly strong resources for identifying
rights of way and land ownership patterns for central and northern Wyoming.

Series XXVIII
Clearwater Short Line Railway
Company
1890-1910
15.5 linear feet
The Clearwater Short Line Railway Company's main lines were from
Riparia, Washington, to Grangeville, Stites, and Headquarters, Idaho. The
company also operated a line from the central Idaho panhandle to Lolo, Montana.
The company was incorporated on November 9, 1898, and sold to the Northern
Pacific Railway Company on June 23, 1914. This series contains extensive
sequences of general correspondence, financial records, personnel reports, and
progress summaries from company divisions such as the Culdesac to Grangeville
line, Lapwai Branch to Lewiston, Potlatch Branch, and Lolo Branch. General
correspondence materials include telegrams, rights of way, construction
estimates, and subcontractor negotiations. These materials constitute an
unusually detailed and deep resource for studying economic patterns and land
ownership histories from central Idaho to western Montana.

Subgroup 3
Advertising and Publicity
Department
1895-1950
2.5 linear feet, 24 moving
image items, and 2 oversize boxes
This subgroup consists of film and photographs produced by the
Advertising and Publicity Department of the Northern Pacific Railroad. These
materials document the landscapes and communities along the primary railway
routes and the promotional techniques employed by the railway company to
encourage both tourism and settlement in the region. Additionally, materials in
this subgroup provide interesting primary sources for comparing and contrasting
the perceptions of life in the Rocky Mountain West and Pacfic Northwest
promoted by the railroad versus those propagated by news media, agricultural
agents, and regional authors during the first half of the 20th Century.
Series LX
Moving Images
circa 1920s-1940
20 16mm film reels and 4
VHS tapes
This series contains films produced by the railroad promotions
department targeted for Eastern and Midwestern U.S. populations and intended to
promote rail travel as the best method for viewing the physical beauty and
cultural legacy of the Rocky Mountain West and Pacific Northwest. Many of the
films portray the region as retaining the character of the "Old West" while
incorporating the conveniences of modern life. Materials in this series provide
insights into the changes and continuities of railroad advertising techniques
spanning the 1920s through the early 1940s--particularly the employment of
American Indian greeters, staging tour events at national parks and locations
of historical interest, and the promotion of company-owned dude ranches.
Additionally, these films preserve images of Rocky Mountain and Pacific
Northwest landscapes before the industrial and housing development booms of the
post-World War II period.
This series contains duplicate film reels for 128(LX):7,
128(LX):13, and 128(LX):18. Reels 128(LX):1, 128(LX):2, 128(LX):7, 128(LX):10,
and 128(LX):20 are color film. Only reel 128(LX):14 has sound. Reel 128(LX):15
is a copy of the original at the Oregon Historical Society.
All collection VHS tapes are duplicates of film reels. For each
instance of a one-to-one relationship, tapes were assigned a common reference
number to the film reel original. These tapes correspond with film reels
128(LX):11, 128(LX):12, and 128(LX):13. One VHS tape contains transfers of
several film reels. In this one instance the VHS tape was assigned a unique
reference number, 128(LX):21.
In 2021, all motion picture film reels were cleaned, cored, and rehoused for preservation purposes. Films were viewed to create content descriptions.
Researchers are asked to view materials on duplicate VHS
tapes.

department of the railway. These photographs appear to have been intended for
promotional literature, particularly to highlight the agricultural potential of
the high plains and river valleys along Northern Pacific Railway routes. The
majority of these photographs were captured after the first major homesteading
wave in the region (1890s through 1918) and during the disastorous cycles of
high plains droughts that resulted in farm foreclosures and homesteader
emmigration (1919 through 1933). These photographs depicting agricultural
abundance and opportunity present images in marked contrast to the tenor of
agricultural studies and regional news reports during the period.
In addition, the photographs in this series present images of
the towns and landscapes along the railway routes during the early stages of
industrial production in the region--when the impact of railroad access is
evidenced by transformations in agricultural and timber harvesting methods as
well as the capacity of transporting high volume goods to distant markets.
Though this series contains photographs spanning the Northern Pacific line, the
images predominantly depict the farms and rail hub towns of Montana and Idaho
during the 1920s and 1930s. Also included are some documentary images of
Northern Pacific promotional exhibits which help to reveal additional context
for how the department used the other photographs in this series.
