:One of the subdivisions of the Northern Transcon is officially named the Hi-Line Subdivision. IF (and only if) this article is re-written to focus on that subdivision, making it similar to the article for [[Staples Subdivision]], it is appropriate to keep.

Proposed move
I'm not sure what the proper name for this route is, just used "Northern BNSF Route" as a temporary name. Someone in the know, please fix this. MrZaiustalk 19:10, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- See Hi-Line. A merge would be appropriate.Kablammo 12:06, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
Copyedit - explanation?
Please specify specific issues or remedy them. A quick scan through reveals no major issues. MrZaiustalk 15:52, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
- Although I didn't place the tag, I have a couple of suggestions for improvement beyond copyediting...
- The article could use a dedicated lead section and a more thorough explanation of the line's history from construction through to today. Since a lot of the construction information is in other articles like Northern Pacific Railway, we can probably get away with summary style for part of the history section.
- All of the images in the gallery are from Washington, but the route extends to Chicago; we need to show images from along the entire route (I have uploaded photos from Illinois and Wisconsin, and I can easily get more from these two states as I am in Madison) and we need to display them in a better format so they're not all clumped together at the bottom of the page.
- The article has no references.
- There is very little on how the BNSF uses the line today. We can probably extract some data from the railroad's annual reports (which are all on the BNSF website, dating back to the first BNSF annual report in 1995) and from journals such as Trains or any of a multitude of others.
- As this line plays an important role in today's transportation, we should be able to do better than the start class article that we have today. Slambo (Speak) 10:44, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
This line is used by the Z-trains (the high priority intermodals) between the port of Seattle and the midwest. Today this is where the money is. With just-in-time inventory controls, it is not the lowest cost but the quickest time that gets the business. This is a fast direct route which means crossing the Cascade Mountains with a 2.2% grade as opposed to the longer flat route around them up the Columbia River Gorge even though it requires far more fuel. 24.19.45.169 (talk) 16:39, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Image copyright problem with File:BNSF.png
The image File:BNSF.png is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check
- That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
- That this article is linked to from the image description page.

Hi-Line (Montana) Merger proposal
As mentioned above by Kablammo back in 2007, Hi-Line (Montana) is essentially another name for part or all of this route. Jason McHuff (talk) 17:16, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
- One of the subdivisions of the Northern Transcon is officially named the Hi-Line Subdivision. IF (and only if) this article is re-written to focus on that subdivision, making it similar to the article for Staples Subdivision, it is appropriate to keep. If there are no plans to do that, yeah redirect for now. Davemeistermoab (talk) 04:23, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
