The Minneapolis and St. Louis Railway (M&StL) (reporting mark MSTL) was an American Class I railroad that built and operated lines radiating south and west from Minneapolis, Minnesota for 90 years from 1870 to 1960. The railway never reached St. Louis (despite its name) but its North Star Limited passenger train ran to that city via the Wabash Railroad. In 1956 it reported 1550 million net ton-miles of revenue freight and 2 million passenger-miles on 1397 route-miles and 1748 track-miles operated; those totals do not include the 117-mile Minnesota Western.

  • The Minneapolis and St. Louis Railway (M&StL) (reporting mark MSTL) was an American Class I railroad that built and operated lines radiating south and west from Minneapolis, Minnesota for 90 years from 1870 to 1960. The railway never reached St. Louis (despite its name) but its North Star Limited passenger train ran to that city via the Wabash Railroad. The railway's most important route was between Minneapolis and Peoria, Illinois; a second major route extended from Minneapolis into eastern South Dakota, and other trackage served areas in north-central Iowa and south-central Minnesota. The M&StL was founded in 1870, and expanded through line construction and acquisition until the early 20th century. Most of the railway's routes saw only relatively light traffic, and consequently the company's financial position was frequently precarious; the railroad operated under bankruptcy protection between 1923 and 1943. The M&StL was acquired by the Chicago and North Western Railway in 1960, and much of its former trackage was abandoned. In 1956 it reported 1550 million net ton-miles of revenue freight and 2 million passenger-miles on 1397 route-miles and 1748 track-miles operated; those totals do not include the 117-mile Minnesota Western.

  • Le Minneapolis and St. Louis Railway (M&StL) (sigle AAR : MSTL) était une compagnie de chemin de fer américain de classe I qui construisit et exploita des lignes au départ de Minneapolis, Minnesota vers l'ouest et le sud. Il exista pendant 90 ans, de 1870 à 1960. Sa route la plus importante allait de Minneapolis à Peoria; une seconde route qui allait vers l'ouest reliait Minneapolis au Dakota du Sud, et une troisième vers le sud reliait Minneapolis à différentes régions du centre-nord de l'Iowa et du centre-sud du Minnesota. Comme la majorité des lignes du M&StL n'avaient qu'un trafic relativement léger, la situation financière de la compagnie était souvent précaire. Le MSTL, placé sous la protection contre les banqueroutes, continua son exploitation de 1923 à 1943. Il fut racheté par le Chicago and North Western Railway en 1960, et bon nombre de ses anciennes lignes furent abandonnées. (fr)
  • La Minneapolis and St. Louis Railway (M&StL) (sigla : MSTL) era una società ferroviaria statunitense che costruì e gestì linee da Minneapolis, Minnesota, ad ovest e a sud. È esistita per novant'anni, dal 1870 al 1960. Il suo percorso più importante era da Minneapolis a Peoria; un secondo percorso ad ovest collegava Minneapolis al Dakota del Sud e un terzo percorso in direzione sud collegava Minneapolis a varie aree dell'Iowa nord-orientale e del Minnesota sud-orientale. Poiché la maggioranza delle linee M&StL avevano un traffico relativamente leggero, la posizione finanziaria della società era spesso precaria. La MSTL, sotto la protezione dal fallimento, continuò la sua attività dal 1923 al 1943. Fu acquistata dalla Chicago and North Western Railway nel 1960 e molte delle sue vecchie linee furono chiuse.
