HISTORICAL NOTE
The Eastern Railway Company of Minnesota was incorporated under the laws of the state of Minnesota in 1887, by way of the transfer to it of certain charter rights residing in the Minneapolis and St. Cloud Railroad Company, its parent corporation. Its purpose was to construct and operate a rail line from Hinckley, Minnesota to the mouth of the St. Louis River.
In 1888 the corporation consolidated with the Lake Superior and South Western Railway Company (Wisconsin), which added to its holdings certain valuable land and terminal and dock properties in Superior, Wisconsin. The Great Northern Railway purchased all properties in 1907 and dissolved the corporation in 1959.
SCOPE AND CONTENTS
The collection includes histories, minutes, and annual reports to the Interstate Commerce Commission and to the states of Minnesota and Wisconsin. Included as well are outgoing letter books of presidents, vice presidents, general managers, and corporate agents; personal outgoing letter books of Samuel Hill and James N. Hill; and incoming correspondence of the President's Office. In addition are subject files of Samuel Hill and James N. Hill/Louis W. Hill, stock certificates and other stock and bond records, and financial records, including abstracts of vouchers (on microfilm). The records also contain architectural plans of the Cambridge, Minnesota, depot (1899) and a West Superior, Wisconsin, boiler house (1888).
The outgoing letter books and incoming correspondence/subject files contain substantive information on the following corporations: Duluth Terminal Railway, Great Falls (Montana) Water Power and Townsite Company, Lake Superior Terminal and Transfer Railway Company, Minneapolis Trust Company, Minneapolis Union Railway, Minneapolis Western Railway, Minnesota Sandstone Company, Northern Steamship Company, St. Paul, Minneapolis, and Manitoba Railway Company, and the Sand Coulee (Washington) Coal Company.

PRESIDENT’S FILES
This series contains incoming correspondence of Samuel Hill as President of the Eastern Railway Company of Minnesota. The bulk of the files date from 1894 to 1897. A few of the later letters are addressed to Louis W. Hill, Samuel Hill's successor. A note on the last file states that with the finishing of file 861 Louis Hill's office was moved to St. Paul. These files contain information on every aspect of the operation of the company and are especially valuable for the local history of the Twin Cities to Duluth-Superior region. Intermixed within this series are files documenting Samuel Hill's positions as a corporate officer of the Minneapolis Western Railway, Minneapolis Union Railway, Great Falls Water Power & Townsite Company, Sand Coulee Coal Company, Minneapolis Trust Company, and the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba Railway.
A brief index to the Samuel Hill files can be found in the Eastern Railway Company of Minnesota corporate files, Miscellaneous volumes, volume 4.

VICE PRESIDENT AND GENERAL MANAGER
This series contains subject files of James N. Hill as vice president and general manager of the Eastern Railway, 1897-1903. They continue as subject files of Louis W. Hill who served as vice president and later president, 1899-1903. A few earlier files are those of William C. Farrington, who preceded James N. Hill as general manager. Farrington began the series; they were periodically weeded by the company leaving some files empty.
The correspondence concerns all facets of the operation of the railway and contains detailed files on the iron mines of northeast Minnesota and on the Minnesota Sandstone Company which operated mines in Pine County, Minnesota. Intermixed with the Eastern Railway files are those of James N. Hill as vice president of the Duluth Terminal Railway and as vice president of the Northern Steamship Company.
