Owatonna, Minnesota

Owatonna had three railroads, including a Chicago & North Western secondary mainline, a Rock Island mainline and a Milwaukee Road mainline.
Today, all three railroads remain. The C&NW is now the Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern (Canadian Pacific) mainline, while Canadian Pacific also owns the Milwaukee Road. The Rock Island is now a Union Pacific mainline.
