Its primary trackage was in the states of Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho and Washington, but it also had lines into Oregon, South Dakota and Iowa, as well as Manitoba and Alberta in Canada. Its most famous "named" passenger trains were the Empire Builder, Oriental Limited, and Western Star. In 1970, the GN merged with three other railroads (Northern Pacific; Chicago, Burlington & Quincy; Spokane, Portland & Seattle) to form the Burlington Northern (BN). Today its surviving lines are part of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF). The GN, like most other railroads of its time, published a company magazine for its employees, passengers and shippers. The magazine, named after the GN's mascot logo, was entitled "The Goat". "The Goat" was one of the better railroad publications, containing information about the GN, its service area, and its employees. For most of its life, it was published monthly. The last issue was February 1970, as the magazine was cancelled with the merger into the BN. "The Goat" measured appx 7x5 inches and was printed on a high-quality glossy paper stock. All issues are illustrated, and some are in color. I am selling my collection of "The Goat" due to age and health issues.
