The Dakota, Minnesota and Eastern Railroad began service in 1986 after local organizing helped protect routes in the Northern Plains. This Double-Sided Keychain Charm offers a small, everyday way to celebrate the railroad’s distinctive identity and its connections to communities in South Dakota and Minnesota. Its history includes expanded branches, the creation of a companion railroad in 2002, and later ownership changes. Keep a piece of DM&E history close, or share it with a rail enthusiast who appreciates regional freight lines.
The Dakota, Minnesota and Eastern Railroad (DM&E) began operations on September 5, 1986, over former Chicago and North Western lines in South Dakota and Minnesota. Its creation followed a 1983 effort to prevent abandonment of track between Pierre and Rapid City, South Dakota; an agreement announced April 24, 1986, established the new railroad, with equipment and buildings included in the purchase. In 1995, DM&E added former Chicago and North Western branches reaching Colony, Wyoming, and Crawford, Nebraska. It acquired the assets of I&M Rail Link in 2002 and renamed that operation the Iowa, Chicago and Eastern Railroad (IC&E), joining the two railroads under Cedar American Rail Holdings. Canadian Pacific announced its purchase of DM&E and affiliated companies in September 2007. After regulatory approval on September 30, 2008, Canadian Pacific assumed control on October 30. In 2014, track west of Tracy, Minnesota, was sold to Genesee & Wyoming and became the Rapid City, Pierre and Eastern Railroad. The former DM&E connected communities across the Northern Plains and served agricultural, industrial, and other freight traffic.
