Day 2 pt 2

The weather was HOT and WINDY. Laura writes the wind was HARD It reached 102•F "in the wagon".  They met up with a dust storm. They took shelter by closing the wagons together. This day they crossed "Northwestern R. R. tracks" at mid afternoon. 

Does northwestern RR still exist? What happened to them? They still have trains; just not as nationwide.
