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.

19/19 So depending how you count, downtown Minneapolis had between 9 and 15 railroad stations. There were and are proposals to expand the new NorthStar Commuter station at Target Field into something more, but constraints abound. It's going to be a long wait for the next train.
