Duluth (Superior Street)		The 1890 map shows the "Superior Street Station" near the intersection of Alexander Street and 28th Avenue (formerly Connecticut Avenue) in the vicinity of GPS: 46.810919, -92.059528. This station was called the Superior Street Station because it was close to London Road which was called Superior Street before the street names were changed.

Duluth (London) (Lakeside)		This station was on East Superior Street at North 47th Avenue (formerly Sargent Street) at GPS: 46.828890, -92.029450. This is shown on Frederick Roe's City of Duluth Atlas from 1890. This is most likely the station that was moved to Knife River (Lake Co.) in the early 1900s as traffic in that area shifted to interurban ridership. The station may have also been called "Lake View," "New London," or "47th Avenue Station" on some old timetables.
Duluth (Lester Park)		This location is called "Lakeview" on maps from the early 1900s. The station was on the east side of North 60th Avenue East (formerly Illinois and formerly Lincoln Street) at GPS: 46.837984, -92.008546. The photos are likely of a later-generation station here.
Duluth (East Lester)		The 1890 atlas shows an East Lester Station between Tower and Garfield Avenues. These streets are no longer there, but the station would have been in the general vicinity of GPS: 46.839709, -92.002388. Given its depiction on the map, this station may have been planned and never built or it may have just been a small flag stop. It is not on the 1902 atlas. This station is shown on Roe's 1890 atlas of Duluth in the 1893 supplement section. It is shown in the Lester Park 4th Division which was just platted at the time and may not have been developed.

Duluth (Missabe Junction)		According to DM&N annual meeting records, a new station was built here in 1911. That new station was two stories, whereas the old station was one story. The photo shows the two-story station when it was bing used as an office and the map shows the one story station at the same location.
Duluth	AND	This station, opened in July, 1910, was located at 602 West Superior Street (GPS: 46.780883, -92.105644). It also served the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic RR and the Duluth, Missabe & Northern. It was abandoned in 1961 and torn down in 1972. When the Soo Line built the station in 1910 the NP had a lock on the right of way. The Soo was able to sneak its way in, except for a quarter mile or so where the NP tracks were right up against a solid rock bluff. The line also had to somehow get around the Bridgeman-Russell Creamery, so the railroad tunneled through solid rock under Michigan Street to get to the depot.
Duluth		There was a freight station at the foot of 10th Avenue West.
Duluth (West Duluth)		This Soo Line/Duluth South Shore & Atlantic station was at the foot of Ramsey Street. It was built in 1916.

Elmer
Elsdon		This was the next station north of Cusson.
Embarrass		According to the D&IR shareholders meeting minutes from 1916, money was allocated for the extension of the freight house here in the amount of $135. In 1917, $1,000 was allocated to add a 14'x28' one-story addition to the depot.
Eveleth		The first D&IR depot here was on the old track alignment that was relocated due to mine encroachment sometime between 1897 and 1900. There was a very small passenger station and larger freight station. It was at what was the west end of Jones Street at the time at approximately GPS: 47.463272, -92.547722.
Eveleth		The second depot here, built around 1900, was a terminal-type depot attached to a freight house. According to the D&IR shareholders meeting minutes from 1912, money was allocated for the extension of this station that year. This depot was removed when the new station was built in 1923.
Eveleth		The original depot here was at the corner of Monroe Street and Carrie Avenue at GPS: 47.461686, -92.543582. It was a single-story depot and was destroyed by burglars who attempted to blow up the safe with dynamite in 1902. There may have been a previous station on the old alignment, but that specific area is not shown on Sanborn maps from that time period (although the original D&IR station on its old alignment is shown).
Eveleth		The second depot here was at the same location as the the original at the corner of Monroe Street and Carrie Avenue, but the west side of the station was two stories. There was also a freight house on the east side of the station. According to DM&N annual meeting records, the station was remodeled in 1907. After the mine began encroaching on the railroad in this part of town and city leaders in Eveleth pushed for a "union" depot, the DM&N moved passenger service to the 1923 D&IR/DM&N station on Fayal Street (still standing) (Duluth News Tribune, 1-20-1922, 6-7-1923). According to maps, the station was still standing in the late-1930s.
Eveleth (Deforest)		An early passenger station here was knocked down in 1911 when two loaded ballasting cars push against the platform. The station fell into the swamp below. According to the The Duluth News Tribune (7-12-1911), the plan was to put the depot back in place and fill in the swamp.
Fairbanks (Bassett Lake)		It has been reported that this station still exists about 200-300 yards north of its original location on the west side of the tracks. Can anyone confirm that with a photo or GPS coordinates? According to the D&IR shareholders meeting minutes from 1914, money was allocated for the extension of this station.
Fens (Dibbell)		Fens is the name of this location on modern maps.
Fermoy		Abandoned as a station on the GN in 1926.

Fond Du Lac		This passenger and freight station with covered platform in between was built in 1897. The passenger station was 20'x31' and the freight house was 18'x24'. It was on the corner of 133rd Street and 4th Street (formerly Glass Street) at approximately GPS: 46.661188, -92.277801. In later years only the freight station part remained (as of the Sanborn map 1950 revision).
Fond Du Lac (East Fond Du Lac)		The East Fond Du Lac station was a mile from the Fond Du Lac station. According to the 1917 NP Valuations Records, an 8'x21' shelter shed made from an old boxcar was installed here in 1902.

Forsman (Taber)		This station was between Virginia and Vermilion Lake it was named for settler Victor Forsman who lived in the area in the 1920s.
Franklin
Fraser (Exmoor)
Frederick		This station was just south of Riley. The location no longer exists. It was in Township 56 North, Range 20 West, Section 18.
French River		According to D&IR annual meeting notes from 1913, an appropriation was made for a new freight house here in the amount of $396.
Gary		This station was on Gary Street at the NP tracks. There may have also been a station at Gary Junction (see map, which may have speculative rather than actual).
Gary (Steelton)		There was a freight station at 527 East Gary Street. A freight station and office was built here in 1915 (Duluth News Tribune, 11-1-1915).
Gary (Steelton)		An addition and improvements were made to this passenger station in 1917 (Duluth News Tribune, 6-4-1917).
Gheen (Alvina)
Gheen		This appears to be a newer and larger station that the one pictured above, however, it appears that the old station may have been part of the new station.
Gilbert		This terminal-type combination station was on the north side of Arizona Avenue (when it used to cross the tracks there) at approximately GPS: 47.493263, -92.462264. It began as a small passenger station, but a steel-reinforced freight end was added later.
Glendale
Gowan		See listing below for Mirbat.
Graff		According to the D&IR annual meeting report of 1912, a new station was built here that year. It is unclear where this station was. Graff may have been an interchange with the Scott-Graff Lumber Company on a logging branch, and those stations disappeared as quickly as they reappeared. The other possibility is that Scott-Graff owned a saw mill in the Duluth harbor that was served by the D&IR, but it was via an agreement with NP for trackage rights. Does anyone know for sure where this station was?
Grand Lake		According to the DM&N annual meeting report of 1913, a new station was built here that year.
Gunderson		Also known as Gunderson Spur, it's not clear exactly where this station was.
Haley
Harris Lake	Duluth & North- eastern RR	Eight miles SW of Fairbanks. Also known as Harris Junction.
Hibbing		There was an early Duluth, Mississippi River & Northern station on Railroad Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenues across the tracks from the original DM&N station. The DMR&N became part of the Eastern Railway Company (in 1899) which was bought by the Great Northern (in 1907, although this particular station was gone by 1904).
Hibbing		This station was built sometime between 1900-1904 in old North Hibbing. It was on Railroad Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenues on the south side of the tracks. Around 1904 a seperate freight station was added just to the west of the passenger station. Sometime between 1908-1913 a new larger freight station was built a but further to the west near 1st Avenue.
Hibbing		This later-generation freight station was between 5th and 6th Streets on the south side of the tracks at GPS: 47.430015, -92.936053.
Hibbing		The first DM&N station in Hibbing was on Railroad Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenues. Prior to this station, an old boxcar was used as the station.
Hibbing		This was the second DM&N station in Hibbing, built sometime between 1900-1904. It was on South Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenues. The tracks were removed and it was torn down sometime around 1911 and replaced with a public park. It was replaced by the station listed below (which also had a relatively short life).
Hibbing		According to DM&N annual meeting records, this station was built in 1911. It was located in the old town of Hibbing before the town was moved in the early 1920s due to encroaching mines. It was east of 1st Avenue in the vicinity of GPS: 47.443296, -92.941423. After this station went out of service it was used as a woodworking shop and was still standing as of 1926 (as shown on the Sanborn map from that year). The station was eventually demolished rather than moved and a new station was built at the new town site.
Hibbing		This freight station was on the west side of 1st Avenue in the old town of Hibbing (the passenger station was on the east side of 1st Avenue). According to DM&N annual meeting records, this station was also built in 1911.

Kirk
Kitzville
Lakeside		See entry below for Lester Park and the current station in Knife River (Lake County).
Lakewoods		Also known as Lakewood Station. According to the D&IR shareholders meeting minutes from 1914, money was allocated for the extension of this station.

1898 ST. LOUIS COUNTY RAILROAD MAP

Notes About Existing Stations... Arbutus (DWP) - This station's original location was off Keyes Road in the vicinity of GPS: 48.306652, -93.048094. It was moved in 1970 to Highway 53 where it was remodeled as a house. Brookston (GN) - The 1915 GN Valuations Recordslist two build dates for this station: 1902 and 1911. This could mean that the station was built in 1902 and expanded or remodeled in 1911. The name was changed in 1902 from "Stoney Brook" to "Brookston." The record says it measured 24'x76'. Duluth (Union Station) - See the Duluth Depot site for more information. The train sheds were removed in 1924. Ely (D&IR) - The freight house was added on sometime between 1900 and 1906. Endion (DM&IR) - Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. Moved from its former location at 400 South 15th Ave East (GPS: 46.799184, -92.076809) in 1985 due to the extension of Interstate 35. Fond Du Lac (LS&M) - According to a Duluth Herald article by Jack D. Shipley (published Jan. 6, 1981), this Lake Superior & Mississippi RR station was built in 1870 and was moved to 13308 West Third Street. It's not clear what its original location was, although it may have been at the site of the later NP depot (the LS&M was a predecessor of the NP) and could have been moved to make way for that station (which was just to the north of where the old station now sits). It served as a duplex and then became a restaurant around 1929. It is shown in a photo from 1904 (although that date is uncertain) and as a dwelling on the 1909 Sanborn map, so it was moved to that lot sometime prior. It served as The Olde Depot Inn restaurant from 1929 until 1985 and is now a house. Floodwood (GN) - According to the 1915 GN Valuations Records, a new station was built here in 1890 and was remodeled in 1911. It measured 16'x94'. So, it is likely that this is the original station with an addition and a facelift. Its original location was on the south side of Railroad Street between 6th and 7th Avenues at GPS: 46.927547, -92.918449. Hibbing (GN) - Originally known as "Alice," when the original town of Hibbing moved south, this station was then known as "South Hibbing" on the GN from 1919 to 1941. The railroad officially changed the station name to just "Hibbing" on Dec. 15, 1941. Iron Junction (DM&N) - Bought by the Iron Range Retriever Club about 1950 and moved to its current site at the Ben Niemi Field Trial Grounds. Taft (DW&P) - I could not confirm that this was the station. Building is up on blocks having been moved to this lot from elsewhere. It is not far from where the Taft station would have been, however it does not match the two older photos of Taft stations listed below in the "Stations Of The Past" table so it is most likely not from here. Does anyone know for sure if this was a station or something else? If it was station, where is it from? --Dan West Twig (DW&P) - I am not convinced that this was a station as it looks like a modern building. It appears to be used as some sort of chemical loading facility. Does anyone know for sure if this was a station? --Dan West Virginia (DW&P) - The first building to occupy this site was a library that was built in 1905. The city built a new library in 1913 and sold the building to the railroad. The CN railroad moved the library building and built the Duluth, Winnipeg, and Pacific Railway station on the site. The depot was used by the railroad until the late 1950's when it was converted to a bank. Virginia (DM&N Freight) - This freight station was built at the east end of 1st Street South (formerly Maple Street) at 1st Avenue West (formerly Railroad Street) sometime between 1904 and 1907. It was lenghtened in 1910. The building is made of brick, but is now mostly covered in aluminum siding. Wilpen (DM&IR) - This station was moved from Wilpen to Chisholm and is now labeled "Glen" depot. Some sources say the station was built in 1915, but according to DM&N annual meeting records, the contract to build the station was entered into in 1910, so the build date might be earlier than 1915.
