[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Murphy Siding [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by nanaimo73 I would guess the C&NW would have been granted trackage rights from Minneapolis and joint ownership would have started at Aberdeen, where the C&NW had a line up from Huron ( I don't know if it was there in 1905).

[/quote] Thanks, guys. I have also wondered whether it was deemed necessary to utilize the Twin Cities as part of the PCE, or if the planners ever considered bypassing the Twin Cities, instead shooting straight WNW out of Chicago or Milwaukee? If the latter, then the lines through the southern tier of South Dakota would have been favorably located for being part of a PCE.
