In 1944 the station was shortened and moved to Kingsdale, MN to replace the two-story Soo Station that was there. A section foreman bought it and turned it into a garage. I got the info on this from a retired Soo Line dispatcher who keeps track of the stations." As of 2014 the building had collapsed. | ||||||

Notes About Existing Stations... Finlayson (St.P&D) - Residents asked the RR to build a larger station here and the NP built this in 1909. According to NP Valuation Reports from 1917, the Finlayson station was built in 1897 and measured 16'x54', however that information may have been carried over from the previous depot. Gronigen (St.P&D) - According to NP Valuation Reports from 1917, this station was built in 1891 and measured 16'x46', however this information may refer to the original station here (or it may just be a mistake). The town was known as Miller, but was wiped out in the Hinkley firestorm of 1894. The name was changed to Gronigen when it was resurrected and the new station subsequently built in 1896. Sandstone (Great Northern) - This station was built in 1922 (Askov American 10-20-1921, Askov American, 5-4-1922). |
