Renowned Northern Pacific photographer F. Jay Haynes followed the construction of the transcontinental railroad as it worked its way across the Montana Territory, photographing the landscapes as he journeyed. Over twenty years, Haynes documented railroad construction, town and rural growth, the development of industrial mining, Yellowstone, and anything else that would promote the advancing Northern Pacific Railroad and entice newcomers to visit, and move to, this vast new land. Photograph archives manager Jeff Malcomson will share dozens of images selected from the Haynes Foundation collection at the Montana Historical Society.
