6/ Soon afterward a group local businessmen, fed up with the price-gouging railway companies, started their own: The Minneapolis & St Louis. In 1873 they built a competing line parallel to the StP&P, with a passenger station right at T3 where the Cedar Lake Trail is today.

7/ The first M&StL station was replaced in 1892 with a more substantial one 2 blocks north at N 4th and Washington, now the parking lot next to Hewing Hotel. Pictured below is a celebration to see off the Minneapolis City Council on a trip to LA. Bon Voyage!
