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.

18/ Busy during the Depression and busiest in WWII, the Great Northern had become a gloomy shell by the time Amtrak took it over in 1971. On March 1st 1978, the last passenger train left the station, and Minneapolis, for good. The building was demolished later that year.
