The Great Northern Railway (reporting mark GN) was an American Class I railroad. Running from Saint Paul, Minnesota, to Seattle, Washington, it was the creation of 19th century railroad entrepreneur James J. Hill and was developed from the Saint Paul & Pacific Railroad.
The tunnel idea, initially posited by Thomson, was raised again. This time a big railroad, the Great Northern, agreed to support the project. The tunnel was constructed, and the new union depot built. The station opened for business in 1906, and served both the Great Northern and Northern Pacific Railroads.
