I quote from POOR'S MANUAL OF RAILROADS, 1898: Sioux Falls Terminal R.R. -- Sioux Falls to South Sioux Falls, S.D., 7.01 m.; total track (steel, 60 lbs), 9.01 miles. Gauge, 4 ft. 8 1/2 in. Organized as South Sioux Falls Ry. & R.T. Co.; name changed and road opened in 1890. The road crosses all the railroads entering Sioux Falls, thus forming a belt line around that city, and extending through the counties of Minnehaha and Lincoln. A part of it is used by the Northern R.R. Co. by permission, without any lease or definite tenure. Capital stock, $300,000. The 1901 volume notes that the line was taken over by the Great Northern in 1900. These are all the facts I was able to dig up. Kind regards, Garth G. Groff montydogsdad2 wrote:
