  • Le Minneapolis, Northfield and Southern Railway (sigle de l'AAR: MNS) était un petit chemin de fer américain de classe I, qui reliait Minneapolis et Northfield sur une distance de 140 km. Il fut créé en 1918 pour reprendre les lignes de l'ancien Minneapolis, St Paul, Rochester and Dubuque Electric Traction Company, connu aussi sous le nom de Dan Patch Lines. En dépit de son nom, ce dernier ne fut jamais électrifié; il utilisait des locomotives à vapeur pour le transport des marchandises, et de toutes nouvelles machines gaz-électrique pour son service voyageurs interurbain. Le 2 juin 1982, il fut acquis par le Soo Line Railroad. Il conserva son autonomie jusqu'à sa fusion officielle qui eut lieu le 1er janvier 1986. (fr)
