Overview:
The Great Northern #1147 was one of the last steam locomotives to operate on the Great Northern Railway before it was retired in the 1950s. It was a popular locomotive for hauling heavy freight loads, carrying all types of goods throughout the Pacific Northwest. Our LionChief BT 5.0 set includes a newly tooled potato sack load to fit into the 2-Bay Hopper as an homage to the region's agricultural heritage and the types of goods that the #1147 locomotive might have transported during its heyday.
