Minneapolis Great Northern Depot, 1917

GreatNorthernDepot

Here is the Minneapolis Great Northern Depot as it appeared in 1917. At its peak during World War II, the station served 125 trains a day. At the time of its closing in 1978, it served a single train daily, when service was moved to the Midway Amtrak station. The building was torn down that same year. The image here is from the 1917 Plan of Minneapolis prepared by the Minneapolis Civic Commission.
