Much of American-made merchandise destined for Asia will be transported to embarkation points served by Great Northern. This railway links the nation with Puget Sound ports of Seattle, Tacoma, Everett and Bellingham in Washington, and Vancouver in British Columbia. Great Northern stretches southward to Portland, Oregon; Vancouver, Washington, and connects with San Francisco, Los Angeles and other California ports. Into these deep water ports also will come vast cargoes of the products of Russia, China, the Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, India, Burma, and the East Indies. And, Great Northern's dependable service will be an important link in the nationwide distribution of these goods. The railway's long commanding position in America's trade with the Orient through Pacific Northwest ports is one of the many things which will continue to make Great Northern great. Ocean-going vessels reach Portland via the Columbia and Willamette Rivers. Seattle's extensive dock facilities are served by Great Northern. Queen city of the Puget Sound region, Seattle is the railway's western terminus. Famous lumber center, Tacoma also ranks as a major seaport. Everett is one of the fast-growing ports on Puget Sound. Great Northern serves Vancouver, Canada's gateway to the Orient. |
