Notes | ||||||
| Albert Lea |
|

| Albert Lea |
 |
In 1874 this station was on the east side of Madison Avenue on the south side of the tracks (across the tracks from the existing freight station). | ||||||
| Albert Lea |
|
This was an earlier station. It also included a hotel that was called the Bunker House and later was called the Winslow House. This station was located in roughly the same spot as the existing M&St.L station is. There was a freight house to the south. | ||||||
| Alden |
|
This station was on the west side of Broadway on the south side of the tracks. | ||||||
| Armstrong |
|
|||||||
| Clarks Grove |
|
This station was built by the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern at the town site of Dorwart (which was one mile south of Clarks Grove). It was moved to Clarks Grove when residents resisted that site for the town. | ||||||
| Curtis Junction |
AND |
Curtis Junction was in the vicinity of South Brodway and West 7th Street in Albert Lea. | ||||||
| Emmons |
|
This station was originally built one mile south in Norman, Iowa and was moved to Emmons in 1904 after a Supreme Court ruling in February of that year. The case centered around whether railroads were obliged to construct a depot at every village on a line. The court affirmed the law that required that and the station was moved to near the state line. --See MINN. & ST. LOUIS R. R. CO. v. MINNESOTA, 193 U.S. 53 (1904) | ||||||
| Freeborn |

This station was built for the Duluth, St. Cloud, Glencoe & Mankato RR (a.k.a. The Alphabet Line, a.k.a. The Bug Line) which was sold to the CM&St.P in 1907. | ||||||
