  • The Rehabilitation of South Dakota's Railroad Passenger Depots
    Copyright © 2007 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. From Razing to Restoring: The Rehabilitation of South Dakota's Railroad Passenger Depots JASON HAUC On 26 January 1905, the lead story in the Brookings Register described the town's newly opened Chicago and North Western passenger de- pot. The article noted, in particular, the depot's massive pillars of stone guarding the doorways, the warm red walls in the men's waiting room, and the warmed and lighted lunch room for the traveling pub- lic. Overall, the depot and grounds were claimed to be "as beautiful a structure and surroundings as can be found in the Northwest.'" Three years later, the Pierre Weekly Dakotan similarly praised the state capi- tal's new Chicago and North Western depot, commending the rich walnut woodwork, the modern restaurant annex, and the new tile plat- form, and calling it "one of the most handsome and best arranged structures in the Northwest."* While both depots served their communities for nearly sixty years, when the railroads discontinued passenger service in the early 1960s the history of these two structures parted ways. Pierre's North West- ern depot was torn down in 1962 to make room for a new Holiday Inn motel. The North Western depot in Brookings gained a new life, first housing a radio station and then an investment firm. As railroads abandoned or reduced service on lines that did not generate enough business, most depots were either vacated or, like Pierre's, simply de- molished. The wave of deterioration and demolition that occurred generally throughout the 1950s and 1960s eventually sparked a new 1.

The document included traffic forecasts and system impacts for both freight and passenger rail growth through 2030. Those impacts were utilized to identify bottlenecks and required capacity investments to keep the full system fluid for all users of the system throughout the study period encompassed by the Plan. The Twin Cities Metro area, with a population approaching three million and a focus of the majority of the state’s rail activity, had several key locations identified for further study and improvement, driven in large part by the potential for a new generation of commuter and high speed intercity passenger rail services linking key economic centers. The Plan did not attempt in its first iteration to perform a detailed investigation into specific train operations in the Metro area that would further define hot spots and facility needs.
