Description: Northern Pacific Railroad Company- 100 shares- 1896 The Northern Pacific Railway (NP) was a transcontinental railroad chartered by Congress on July 2, 1864, to connect the Great Lakes with Puget Sound, opening new lands for agriculture, lumbering, mining, and linking the Pacific Northwest to the rest of the U.S. Congress granted nearly 40 million acres of land to the NP, which used the grants to raise construction funds in Europe. Construction began in 1870, and the main line was completed in 1883, with President Ulysses S. Grant driving the final "golden spike" in Montana. The NP had about 6,800 miles of track across several states, including an international branch to Winnipeg, Canada. It was heavily involved in transporting agricultural products, cattle, timber, minerals, consumer goods, and passengers, while also selling land. Despite its important role, the NP faced financial difficulties, leading to its 1970 merger into the Burlington Northern Railroad, which later became part of BNSF Railway in 1996.
