Biographical history
Wade Griffis was a member of the Friends of the Burlington Northern Railroad, an active supporter of The BN Expediter magazine, and a Burlington Northern modeler, with a large layout in his basement (see it in the October 2006 issue of The BN Expediter). He had a very large collection is still in work by the Friends of the Burlington Nothern. Unfortunately he did not label his photos very well, so in many cases we don’t know the location and sometimes not even the date. His collection was donated by his wife.
