This station was across the river in Le Sueur County. It was on the south side of East Broadway Avenue (MN-99). The depot site is vacant today, but the tracks are still active. The first station here was built in 1867 and later served as the freight station when a new station was built in 1905.
St. Peter
(East St. Peter)
This was likely the first Omaha station.
Waterville This station was probably built by the Minnesota Central or the Wisconsin, Minnesota and Pacific, predecessor of the CGW. What is confusing is that both the M&StL and Rock Island operated this line in the 1800's for a while.The station was on the east side Reed Street South just south of Hoosac Street West. There was also a branch line that ran on the north side of Lake Tetonka ending at the Tetonka Summer Resort Hotel and racetrack.
