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.

10/ That same year the Minneapolis & Pacific Railway, later bought by the Soo Line, built a similar North Loop passenger terminal along N 2nd St at N 6th Ave, where River Station Condos are now. In 1892 they rebuilt it 2 blocks further east at the corner of N 4th Ave, today's Heritage Landing.
