14/ Before visiting the last station, let's mourn the end of the Interurbans. Once the fastest way to reach Anoka, Edina, Wayzata, Bloomington, Lakeville, etc, they were all gone by 1947. Where Dan Patch Depot once boarded passengers is now an abandoned bus stop under Ramp A in the median of I-394

15/ The last Minneapolis train station was the grandest. Old Union Depot, an engineering marvel in its day, was ugly and soon outdated. JJ Hill's business was also now an empire and he wanted an edifice to match. The new Great Northern Station opened on Hennepin Avenue in 1913.
