4/ Milwaukee Depot was replaced again in 1899 by a grand Spanish Revival that still stands today, less its ornate cupola that blew off in 1941. The last train left here in 1971. Redeveloped into a hotel in 2001, it has one of the nation's only surviving truss-roof train sheds

5/ On the west edge of downtown, the St Paul & Pacific Railroad built a bridge across the river at Nicollet Island in 1867 to points west. Their new Minneapolis station was a combo passenger/freight affair located in the current railway trench near the T3 North Loop building.
