History
Neil Shankweiler lived in the eastern United States until the 1970’s, when he moved to Colorado. He shot a lot of photos of anthracite railroads prior to moving, and a lot of the Burlington Northern Railroad in the western United States afterwards. His entire collection was donated to the Anthracite Railroads Historical Society, including all his Burlington Northern photos. The Anthracite Railroads Historical Society in turn donated Neil’s Burlington Northern photos to the Friends of the Burlington Northern and other Pacific Northwest railroad photos to the Pacific Northwest Railroad Archive..
