| Redwood (North Redwood) |
|
This station was built in 1884. The passenger section was bought and moved by the Redwood County Historical Society to their property west of Redwood Falls. Stories vary, but the best is that someone tried to remove a wasps nest with a propane torch and that part of the station burned down. The freight section is still standing (see listing above). | ||||||

|
After the station above was retired the railroad built a concrete block station here. | ||||||

|
The second station was built here in 1880. Both the old and new stations were on Tin Street (formerly South Street) on the east side of Lincoln at GPS: 44.533179, -95.114385. Around 1915 the town expected to get a new depot, but instead the railroad remodeled and enlarged the old depot (The Redwood Gazette, 7-26-1916). | ||||||

Notes About Existing Stations... Belview (M&St.L) - Restored and opened as a museum in 1976. On NRHP in 1980. The station was completed in October, 1892 (The Redwood Gazette, 10-13-1892). Lamberton (C&NW) - It appears that the freight section of this station has been cut off. The other half of the station may be at a different location or was demolished. Walnut Grove (C&NW) - The station is divided in half. The passenger section is part of barn at the NE end of the farmstead while the freight section is part of a barn at south end of farmstead flanking CR 42. Not really recognizable except by the roof lines and interior construction. |
