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.

9/ More railroads moved into the North Loop. In 1884 the Northern Pacific built a branch line through downtown via the U of M campus over Bridge No. 9, with a passenger station at the corner of N 2nd Street and N 8th Ave, where the Star Tribune printing plant is now.
