Like many other transcontinental railways,
Great Northern public timetable maps
showed the system in two sections

In a couple of posts on Sault Ste Marie and its railway bridge
JJ Hill's Great Northern rivalry with the CPR was discussed -
particularly as it pertained to the lines west of Sault Ste Marie.
Here is a follow-up of sorts.
A couple of pages of timetables are included below for their Winnipeg content.
Both east and west of the staples,
you can see the numerous Great Northern tendrils
Hill sent north - toward and over the Canadian border.
Finally, a couple of pages describe named trains and their equipment.
Who wouldn't want to ride the Gopher?
