12/ If all this seems difficult for passengers, it was. Local business interests hit up magnate JJ Hill to fix the mess and create one efficient downtown station, though not every line opted in. Union Depot opened to great fanfare in 1885, served by the magnificent new Stone Arch Bridge behind it.

13/ By 1900 the electric interurban era had arrived. In 1908 the Minnesota Northfield & Southern Railway, best known as the Dan Patch, built a station just west of Target Field stadium. Other railways also stopped there, including the Electric Short Line and Anoka & Cuyuna Range Railroad
