Minneapolis Municipal Waterworks Railway : ウィキペディア英語版 | Minneapolis Municipal Waterworks Railway The Minneapolis Municipal Waterworks Railway, originally known as the Minneapolis Filtration Plant Railway was an electric railway operated by the city of Minneapolis, Minnesota to serve a water purification plant in Columbia Heights, Minnesota.〔, R. L. (1976). The Electric Railways of Minnesota. Hopkins, MN: Minnesota Transportation Museum Inc.〕 ==History and Purpose==
After building a new water filtration plant in Columbia Heights, the city of Minneapolis decided to build an electric railway connecting the plant to an interchange with the Soo Line Railroad ~1 ½ miles away in order to haul chemicals to the plant, replacing the trucks that had previously performed this task. The railway was built by a combination of day labor from the Waterworks Department and Minneapolis Street Railway Company employees, who performed the specialized work of laying track and hanging wire. The route was used mainly to haul chemicals such as coal, powdered alum, chlorine, ammonia, and sand . Originally, passenger service was limited to plant employees but it was later extended to the general public.〔
