100 years ago the Twin Cities were among the top railway centers in the US. Today the only passenger stations are NorthStar commuter in Minneapolis and Amtrak at St Paul Union Depot. Let's visit all the lost train stations, starting with downtown Minneapolis. There were 15! 🧵

0/ Minnesota's first rail service began July 2 1862, connecting the east side of St Anthony Falls with steamboat landings in St Paul. Technically this side of the river wasn't Minneapolis yet, because that wouldn't happen until 1872, but it's on the timetable so we'll count it.

I live a block from Union Depot in downtown Stp. Beautiful building. One of the tracks runs right past my husband's work in the suburbs. "Cool! Must be nice to take the train to work." LOL what train? We drive our car there and back, there and back, every day, there and back 🤦
