SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) – On this week’s Throwback Thursday, Lori Kent with the Local Lou Podcast discusses the railroad that connected Sioux Falls to Chicago back in 1887.
The Illinois Central, the fourth railroad company to extend its service to Sioux Falls, opened its line and passenger depot in December 1887. The building became a freight depot after passenger traffic fell off in the 1950s as automobiles became the preferred means of transportation.
The depot was purchased by private investors in 182 and turned into office space. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
