This railroad ran from Stillwater to White Bear Lake and this station was the terminus at Stillwater. It became part of the St. Paul & Duluth Railroad in 1899 which was later bought by the Northern Pacific.

Stillwater Junction Known as Siegel on modern maps, there was a St. Paul, Stillwater & Taylor's Falls Railroad station here as early as 1874. This was originally the junction of the St.PS&TF (which continued NE to Stillwater) and the West Wisconsin RR (which crossed the river at Hudson, WI and ran NW up to the junction). This junction would have been in the vicinity of 47th Street North and Osgood Avenue. A passenger station here was built by the St. Paul & Sioux City RR in 1881 that survived well into the CSt.PM&O years. A two story agent's dwelling was constructed here in 1883.
