The Dan Patch Line's 1908 station was at 54th St and Nicollet, just outside of the city limits, on account of being kicked out of the city and forced to give up the track they had laid inside the city limits to the TCRT. That depot was built in 1916 by the Electric Short Line Railway.

Also, up until it went into receivership following the death of Dan Patch (and his owner) in 1916, it was known as the Minneapolis, St. Paul, Rochester & Dubuque Electric Traction Company. At which time it hadn't made it to Dubuque, Rochester, or St. Paul, and it never electrified.
