Oh behalf of the Minnesota Transportation Museum, thank you for allowing us to assist in this wonderful history lesson. We are grateful that we were able to help Union Depot tell the story of Minnesota's colorful railroad history and the impact that influences our state to this day. We wish you well and hope to be able to collaborate with you again when it is safe to do so! -Brian Voss, Chairperson, Minnesota Transportation Museum
Thanks for this. Grew up where Oxford dead end to Pierce Butler. Energy Park drive and Bandana Square were there. I'm an 80s kid. Went to JJ Hill gifted and talented school on Selby.
Jackson roundhouse is a must for anyone. On a smaller scale, Scale Model Supply. Lexington and University.
Like to see more on the Minnesota transfer round house on Cleveland avenue in St Paul MN and the locomotive that was on at the Como Zoo
Neat production! Still feels odd to me to see #328 static, it rode behind it several times in Stillwater.
Scot: It was the Washburn - Crosby Company. NOT General Mills
At 5:49, you mentioned a wood roundhouse that became too small. Was that the building that was located on Randolph Avenue just west of Shepard Road that was destroyed by a straight-line windstorm that devastated Highland Park 20-some years ago? Or was that building associated with the industry along West 7th Street?
The train depot, pictured at 3:57, is that of the CNW, in Winona, MN; not in St. Paul.
The section of the video is describing how settlers moved along newly constructed railroad lines that connected to St. Paul, not that this picture is in St. Paul.
This seemed to be the same as episode 1.
