The Great Northern Railway is no more. Yet its flaking emblem still clings to the side wall of a decaying caboose near the ghost town of Nevada City. The trademark is cut asunder down the middle, just as the Great Northern itself, which merged with two other railroads to form the Burlington, Great Northern, and Santa Fe. I include a window off to the left, reflecting the clawed branches of nearby dead trees. It adds a ghostly context. Amazingly, the colors of the Great Northern are still vivid. The red and orange paint lingers, a reminder of the railroad’s best days.
