Abstract
The Great Northern Railway, while not the most recently built transcontinental line, was only opened through to the Pacific Coast in January, 1893. It was in December, 1889, that John F. Stevens, Past-President and Hon. M. Am. Soc. C. E., explored the Marias Pass in the Rocky Mountains and thus opened up a short and low summit route for a line not far south of the Canadian border. Mr. Stevens did not have the satisfaction of staying to complete the location survey over the Rockies because his success there resulted in the late James J. Hill, F. Am. Soc. C. E., sending him to the Cascade Range to determine the route of the Great Northern Railway across that barrier.
