RCPE trains may continue to Mankato using trackage rights to interchange with the Union Pacific railroad.
History
The Huron Subdivision is a direct descendant of the railroad line featured in the four De Smet novels within the overall series of children's novels written by Laura Ingalls Wilder known as the Little House on the Prairie series. The line was built in 1879-1880 and first operated in the 1880s, and the new railroad line's construction and operation are repeatedly described and featured in the novels.
