1/19 The 1st train "station", not much more than a shack on wood planks, stood on Main Street SE between Maple and Walnut (today's 7th and 8th Streets SE), directly in front of today's Stone Arch Apts. The 10-mile trip to St Paul took 45 minutes, less time than the Green Line

2/ The 2nd terminus in town, the FIRST inside Minneapolis itself, was built in 1865 by the Minnesota Central Railway, to points southeast via Fort Snelling. This was a more substantial frame building at S 2nd Street and 5th Ave, where today's Marriott Residence Inn is now.
