Notes About Existing Stations...

Savage (CSt.PM&O) - This station has been moved twice from its original location. In 1973 it was moved to Murphy's Landing in Shakopee and then it was moved back to Savage in 2006. The book "The Chicago And Northwestern In Minnesota" (Luecke,  1990) claims this station was built in 1883.

Shakopee (CSt.PM&O/CM&St.P) - The passenger and freight stations were shared by the two railroads. The freight station was the original CM&St.P combination station before being used as a freight station when the new brick joint station was built in 1909. Here is another old photo of the 1909 passenger station.
