North Cascades Railroad Quiz?

Trains Magazine General Discussion
1

I just completed the district writing assesment at my school and was thinking about how many tests kids have to take and adults hardly have to take any. So I decide to make a quiz. The topic is regional,but I think that a fair number of people are interested in the railroads that ran over the North Cascades.

1)Match the following three railroads with the mountain passes that they ran over.
passes-Stevens,Snoqualmie,Stampede
railroads-Great Northern, Milwaukee Road, Northern Pacific

2)Match these towns to the railroads that served them.
towns-Wellington, Merritt, Hyak, Rockdale, Martin, Easton
railraods-Great Northern, Milwaukee, Northern Pacific

3)Who was the first engineer to bring a train thru the original Cascade tunnel and into Seattle?

I will post the answers on Sunday.

Good luck!
(sorry about my poor typing skills, I tend to misspell words lot when I type)
