West of Mpls MN about 50 miles on Hwy 12
Here, railroads took whatever they needed from land they owned, including timber, which cleared/created several of the larger fields we farm. Every acre we own, was first deeded to a railroad by the Federal government, and was then sold by a railroad after they took what they wanted/needed.
