STATIONS OF THE PAST
Station Name	Original Railroad	Notes
Baker park		The photo appeared in an 1893 book called "Buildings And Structures Of American Railroads: A Reference Book" by Walter Gilman Berg. The photo, which dates from 1891, shows two separate "twin" depots on each side of the tracks. One is Baker Park station and the other is Desrover Park station (see below, not sure which is which in the photo). Does anyone know the exact locations of these stations?
Bald Eagle
cardigan junction		This station sat within the triangle at the junction. This was located off Rustic Place which is west of Rice Street (CR 49). The depot was built in 1887 and included living quarters for the station master.
Cuenca		This station was built in 1888. The RR brought it to Cardigan Junction as a Section House in 1917. Later, it was sold to a private party and moved east to Rustic Road where it was used as a house. It burned down in 2008.
Desnoyer Park		The photo appeared in an 1893 book called "Buildings And Structures Of American Railroads: A Reference Book" by Walter Gilman Berg. The photo, which dates from 1891, shows two separate "twin" depots on each side of the tracks. One is Baker Park station and the other is Desnoyer Park station (not sure which is which in the photo). Access to the Desnoyer Park station was likely from St. Anthony Avenue as it borders the Desnoyer Park neighborhood and the RR tracks. Does anyone know the exact locations of these stations?
Gladstone (Gloster)	AND	This station, known as Gloster, was NE of the corner of Frost and English Streets at the diamond of the SOO and NP. The station was manned by SOO operators in later years. The bay window stuck out on the northwest corner of the building so trains could be observed on both railroads. The building was in the southeast quadrant of the diamond.
Hazel Park		This station was four miles northeast of Union Station.
Highwood		This station was on Newport Avenue (now Point Douglas Road) in St. Paul.
North St. Paul		Burned down in 1906.
St. Paul		This freight station was on East 7th Street.
St. Paul		There was a combination station west of Jackson Street and south of Arlington Ave East. It was located on the lower track. In 1960 it had no electricity except for telegraph and phone lines and had an outhouse even though it was in St. Paul city limits. --Gordon Schmidt
St. Paul		There was a freight station on Fillmore Avenue that was built in 1902.
St. paul		There were two freight stations on Prince Street. The first was built in 1897 and a second was added in 1902.
St. paul		There was a freight station on Robert Street that was built in 1891.
