The Mainstreeter is published quarterly. On the Cover, Front cover: Lights, camera...! For Northern Pacific train dispatcher Ronald Nixon, it all came together on the afternoon of November 20, 1939, at De Smet, Montana. Shortly after three and minutes out of Missoula, engine 2607 charges into the ten-mile 2.2% grade up Evaro Hill with train 1, the westbound North Coast Limited. The fireman trims the injector, producing a jet of steam below the cab, and engineer Wilkins has the eleven-car consist well in hand, but if the speed drops below 20, he can cut in the trailing-truck booster and keep the NP flagship "on the advertised." Shoving hard on the observation car, Mikado 1539 will do its best to keep this from happening.Ronald V. Nixon photo, Museum of the Rockies, RVN10133
