(1902-1941), land contracts, outgoing letters (1917-1933), subject files (1898-1933) and reports (1917-1933), all documenting a NP subsidiary operating a railway line in northern Minnesota. The Letters Sent series (265 vol.) contains outgoing letters of William Gemmell, general manager and president of the M&I, dealing with all aspects of the railroad's operations.

There are a few items, however, that were duplicated from other extant records, which date back to 1898.
