	NORTHERN SECURITIES CO. v. U.S
		Those who were stockholders of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific and became stockholders in the holding company are now interested in preventing all competition between the two lines, and, as owners of stock or of certificates of stock in the holding company, they will see to it that no competition is tolerated.

		Kentucky, 161 U.S. In that case, it was contended by the railroad company that the assumption of the State to forbid the consolidation of parallel and competing lines was an interference with the power of Congress over interstate commerce.

		GREAT NORTHERN R. Feb. 1942] Opinion Per MILLARD, J. made definite and certain; and if the facts constituting negligence are specifically alleged, the plaintiff, in presenting his evidence, should be limited to proof of such facts.
		GREAT NORTHERN R. Feb. 1942] Opinion Per MILLARD, J. freight car door was defective and out of repair, and in what respect appellant failed to furnish a reasonably safe place to work, was denied.
		To place in bolder relief the manifest error, let us assume that the door was not defective, that the platform was not slippery, and that the only negligence of the appellant consisted in failure to make a proper inspection of the car door and platform.

		Illinois, 96 U.S., the original charter of the company gave it the right, in consideration of building a turnpike, to erect tollgates and exact toll for 25 years from the date of the charter.
		But as, by the agreement, the guaranty by the defendant of the Northern Pacific bonds is assumed to be in consideration of a transfer to its stockholders of one-half the capital stock of the reorganized company, it would inevitably follow that this stock would be held for the benefit of the company.
		The consolidation of these two great corporations will unavoidably result in giving to the defendant a monopoly of all traffic in the northern half of the state of Minnesota, as well as of all transcontinental traffic north of the line of the Union Pacific, against which public regulations will be but a feeble protection.

	About BNSF - BNSF History (GN)
		The epic completion of Great Northern Railway's transcontinental line to the Pacific in 1893 and the creation of BN some 77 years later were in a very real sense the fulfillment of one man's dreams.
		At the close of 1892, only a seven-mile gap remained in what was once referred to as "Hill's Folly." On January 6, 1893, in the towering Cascades near Scenic, Washington, the final spike was driven, and GN became the second railroad to link Puget Sound with the upper Midwest.

		That original depot, built in 1875, was a simple structure, described by the Cokato Observer as "barn-like." By 1890, the depot had begun to show its age, but despite the clamor by local citizens and officials, no new depot was in sight.
		The Cokato Observer noted its objection to this plan, stating "...Jim Hill [Great Northern president James J. Hill] can’t afford to build anything more substantial and our citizens will have to use the...structure for a depot until the next decade." Actually, the depot had to suffice for over two decades.
		The new depot was to be built according to the template used by Great Northern for all new depots in small communities.
