  • A Brief History of Early Northeast Brainerd
    A Brief History of Early Northeast Brainerd by Ann M. Nelson June 18, 2016 Introduction For over a century Northeast Brainerd was the industrial center of the city of Brainerd; its industries provided work for thousands of people and drove the prosperity of the city. These industries were the economic engines that kept Brainerd alive, the salaries of their workers fueled the city’s business district and increased the fortunes of many of its citizens. The history of Northeast Brainerd could not be told without a description of the Northern Pacific Shops, Schwartz’s Brickyard, the Dam, Lumbermen’s Hospital, Brainerd & Northern Minnesota Railway Company, Brainerd Lumber Company, Minnesota & International Railway Company, Electric Streetcar Company and the Northwest Paper Company. Prominent, also, is the history of the Ravine Bridge and Fill, Lum Park and Evergreen Cemetery, the resting place of so many Northeast Brainerd pioneers. Northern Pacific Shops In August 1870 the Northern Pacific Railroad finally decided where the crossing of the Mississippi River was to be made; that location was at a point about seven miles north of Crow Wing in a space of wilderness populated mostly by Native Americans, jack pine, Norway and white pine. Immediately upon that announcement hundreds of people, mostly white men, descended upon the wilderness and began to build the town which eventually became known as Brainerd. In January of 1871 there were about 1,600 men working on constructing the railroad from the Junction (Carlton) to Brainerd and the tracks were about twenty-eight miles east of the city. On March 6 the Northern Pacific was completed from Carlton to Brainerd; on March 11 a special train carrying the officials of the railroad arrived in the city; by the end of March trains were running into Brainerd on a regular basis and in September the first regular passenger train arrived.

  • 2011 Downeaster Expansion Overview
    DOWNEASTER EXPANSION PROJECT OVERVIEW BACKGROUND The Amtrak Downeaster makes five daily round trips between Boston and Portland, serving 10 communities in three states along its 116-mile corridor. The Boston to Portland service has been in operation since December 2001. Included in the original plan for the Downeaster service, but not possible until now, was the extension of service 30 miles beyond Portland to Freeport and Brunswick. Expansion of service to Brunswick is important because it will provide more mobility to Maine residents, increase tourism, support the redevelopment of the Brunswick Naval Air Station (BNAS) and provide a connection to the state owned Rockland Branch, which extends 58 miles from Brunswick to Rockland, the heart of mid-coast Maine. Although a capital plan to upgrade the freight line between Portland and Brunswick to passenger standards had been in place for years, the lack of capital funding to complete the project remained a barrier until spring 2009 when the High Speed Intercity Passenger Rail (HSIPR) Grant Program was announced. Administered by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), the HSIPR grant program made $8 billion available as a “down payment” on investment in our nation’s passenger rail system through a national competitive application process. The Northern New England Passenger Rail Authority (NNEPRA) submi�ed an application for the Downeaster Expansion Project, and was awarded $35 million. Under the leadership of Governor John Baldacci, the State of Maine agreed to provide the remaining funds (approximately $3 million) to complete the project. The Downeaster Expansion Construction Project includes the rehabilitation of approximately 27 miles of track between Portland and Brunswick owned by Pan Am Railways, and approximately 1.2 miles of track in Brunswick owned by the MaineDOT.
