Staples Subdivision
The Staples Subdivision or Staples Sub is a railway line running about from Dilworth to Fridley, Minnesota (near Minneapolis). It is operated by BNSF Railway as part of their Northern Transcon and contains the busiest segment of mainline track in the state, between Coon Rapids and Fridley. As of 2014, most of the route hosted an average of 60 trains per day, and there were 80 trains per day near Fridley. The line meets the KO Subdivision in the west at East Dilworth, and runs to Interstate in Fridley, at the limits of Northtown Yard. Beyond Northtown, the rails continue as the Midway Subdivision.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fargo to Staples )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Staples to Coon Creek )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Coon Creek to University )〕 U.S. Highway 10 closely follows the rail line for a majority of the distance between Dilworth and Fridley, Minnesota.
This subdivision is mostly double tracked, with only 2 segments of single track from Gregory to Little Falls (3 miles), and just north of Little Falls (1 mile). BNSF intends to double track these segments as part of a 326 million dollar project in 2015.〔(BNSF plans $326 million capital program in Minnesota to maintain and expand rail capacity and ensure safe, reliable operations ) BNSF news media release.

This line has hosted Amtrak's ''Empire Builder'' since 1979, and the train makes stops along the Staples Subdivision in St. Cloud, Staples, and Detroit Lakes. Since November 2009, it has also hosted the Northstar Line commuter train, with stops in Fridley, Coon Rapids, Anoka, Ramsey, Elk River, and Big Lake.
This line also features connections to two subdivisions heading to Duluth, Minnesota. The Brainerd Subdivision breaks off to the east in Staples, while the Hinckley Subdivision runs north from Coon Creek Junction in Coon Rapids. Mileposts are counted from near the Saint Paul Union Depot for the southern half of the line from Fridley to near Staples, but northwest of Staples, distance is measured from Duluth.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Staples to Carlton )〕
