The Saint Paul & Duluth Railroad Company was originally incorporated in 1863 and known as the Lake Superior & Mississippi Railroad. The road provided the first service between Duluth and the Twin Cities upon its completion in 1870. Serving as the all-important eastern terminus of the Northern Pacific Railroad, the road linked the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River. A victim of the panic of 1873, the company defaulted on its bonds and was reorganized in 1877 as the Saint Paul & Duluth Railroad. It was absorbed by the Northern Pacific Railroad in 1900.
