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!

8/ In 1879 the scrappy Minneapolis, Lyndale, & Minnetonka Railway began running small steam trains out to stations at Nicollet/31st, Lake Calhoun, Lake Harriet, Minnehaha Falls, and Excelsior. Trains departed every 30 mins at a street terminus on Marquette Ave at Washington.
