Re: Where Were You 45 Years Ago on "M-Day"..BN Merger

With dad being an NP conductor, I was very aware of what was happening. Of course we were all hoping for Great Northern Pacific, to keep the names alive. I was a senior in high school, spending half day in commercial photography school. None of us (family) were all that happy with it, but it worked out ok. It's just that the NP was a very employees-are-family type railroad and that all changed. Also there was a lot of rivalry between the NP and GN trainmen, so merging them had it's tensions, somewhat brought home after work.

My friends and I tried to get a lot of NP and GN photos before things were changed. Needless to say, we didn't shoot near enough photos!
