This year, it's the turn of my partner's family to host us for Christmas, and it'll be my first visit to her hometown of Bemdiji, MN at that time of year. I've been briefly in the summertime but only had a short stop there. I'm interested to know what passenger rail would have once served Bemidji.
I know that the Beltrami County Historical Society have occupied the beautifully preserved depot since about 1998... hopefully they'll be open at some point during the holidays for me to visit. I know for some internet research that a couple of un-named local trains would have come to Bemidji from Great Lakes (?) but I've read various mentions of at least one train to Minneapolis / St. Paul.
Could anyone fill me in on the various trains, names, and last dates of operation?
Thanks in advance for help with this ultra-specific request!
