Quel est le nom définitif de la Great Northern dans ce passage ?
En raison de ses racines historiques en tant que ville abritant des travailleurs du rail, Hillyard a acquis une réputation plutôt rude, qui perdure depuis quelques décennies. (En 1979 encore, Daniel Leen décrivait les gares de triage de Hillyard dans son livre The Freighthoppers Manual for North America comme ayant "la sensation d'une mort réchauffée"). Après une série de fusions du Great Northern, qui devint le Burlington Northern Railroad puis le BNSF Railway, la gare de triage et les ateliers d'Hillyard furent fermés au début des années 1980, les activités principales de la gare de triage de Spokane étant transférées à Yardley. Seules les structures délabrées des anciens ateliers subsistent aujourd'hui. Hillyard est l'un des quartiers les plus pauvres de Spokane, le plus pauvre de l'État de Washington par habitant. La limite orientale du quartier, à l'est de la voie ferrée, est parfois affectueusement appelée "Dog Town" par certains habitants
Après la première fusion, la Great Northern est devenue Burlington Northern Railroad, puis BNSF Railway.
What was the final name of Great Northern in this passage
Due to its historical roots as a town housing railroad workers, Hillyard acquired a rather rough reputation, which lasts into recent decades. (As recently as 1979, Daniel Leen described the Hillyard train yards in his book The Freighthoppers Manual for North America as having "the feel of warmed-over death.") After the Great Northern underwent a series of mergers, becoming the Burlington Northern Railroad and eventually the BNSF Railway, the Hillyard yard and shops were closed in the early 1980s with BN's main yard operations in Spokane moving to Yardley. Only the decaying structures of the old shops remain today. Hillyard suffers some of the worst poverty in Spokane, per capita it is the poorest neighborhood in the state of Washington. The eastern border of the neighborhood, east of the railroad tracks, is sometimes affectionately referred to as "Dog Town" by some residents
After the first merger Great Northern became Burlington Northern Railroad, then eventually BNSF Railway.
