Biographical history

James Merlin "Jimmy" Fredrickson was born to Martin and Addie Biner Fredrickson on December 19,1926 in Tacoma, Washington. He graduated from Stadium High School in 1945. By that time he had already begun working as a call boy for the Northern Pacific Railroad Company while still a high school student. He moved up the line of progression to telegraph operator, train dispatcher, chief dispatcher, and finally Transportation Assistant for the Burlington Northern Railroad Company. His love for the railroad and his artistic eye with a camera made him one of the foremost authorities on railroading. He was also the author of three books on life on the railroad, with each page featuring a railroad photo and a personal story to go with it.
