16/ The station's austere neoclassical style bespoke serious railroading inside. All mainline passenger trains in Minneapolis were rerouted here, except for competitors Milwaukee Road, Rock Island and Soo which kept their operations at the Milwaukee depot on Washington Ave.

17/ One interesting tidbit before the end. Minneapolis Great Northern Station was planned to be more than double in size, with 29 tracks and a 570' wide façade. It would've been larger than Kansas City Union Station, then the 3rd largest in US. But this was not to be.
