I'm looking for any railroad employee or company information about the railroad yards and shops in St. Paul for the “St. Paul & Sioux City Railroad” or the “Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Railway”. I'm particularly interested in viewing St. Paul records, photographs, or maps for these two railroads from the mid 1870's to the mid 1910's. My great great-grandfather, Anders Magnuson (b. 1834), began working for the St. Paul & Sioux City Railroad in 1875. Anders first worked at the Chestnut Street yard in St. Paul located at the foot of Chestnut Street, where the railroad ran along the Mississippi River. He then moved to the Robert Street yard, about a half-mile east up the tracks along the Mississippi River. In 1881, the St. Paul & Sioux City Railroad was absorbed into the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Railway. Anders Magnuson continued to work at the Robert Street yard in St. Paul until April, 1889 and then moved to the East St. Paul yard until he retired in 1906. Any additional information about these railroad yards and shops or employee records would be greatly appreciated.
