Minnesota and Pacific Railroad Company
The company was authorized to build a main line across Minnesota from Stillwater to Breckenridge and a branch line from St. Anthony to St. Vincent. It received a territorial land grant of 3.25 million acres. It began, but never completed, line construction, due to its financial failure following the panic of 1857. The legislature reorganized it as the St. Paul and Pacific Railroad in 1862, and it was acquired by GN predecessor St. Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba Railway at a foreclosure sale.
