Non-Triumph Trivia

[Alexander Joseph H <AlexanderJosephH@Waterloo.deere.com>]

Who was the highly regarded 1800s railroad transportation developer from
Minnesota who
expanded rail lines into the Pacific Northwest? 

He was highly regarded, in part, because he was not one of the money
grubbing Robber Barons of that and later times. He had social conscience and
was highly philanthropic.

Hint: One of the FOT shares his name. Perhaps it is a relative...wouldn't be
surprised.
