Algona once had three railroads, including a Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad (Milwaukee Road) secondary line, a Chicago & North Western Railway (C&NW) secondary line and a Minneapolis & St. Louis Railway (M&StL) branch line. Today, the former Milwaukee Road is owned by CPKC; the former C&NW is owned by Union Pacific Railroad and the former M&StL has been abandoned.
